Tools

List Subscriptions

List all board subscriptions accessible with the current Subscription API credentials. Returns subscription IDs and associated board IDs. Only available via the **Subscription API**. Use subscription IDs to target specific boards when sending messages.

Format Text

Convert a plain text string into a Vestaboard character code array. Useful for previewing how text will appear on the board or for preparing character arrays for the Local API. Does **not** require authentication — this is a public VBML formatting service.

Read Current Message

Retrieve the current message displayed on a Vestaboard as a 2D array of character codes. Each code represents a character or color on the board. Available via the **Cloud API** and **Local API** only (not supported by the Subscription API).

Compose Vbml

Compose a message using VBML (Vestaboard Markup Language) and get back a character code array ready to send. Supports multiple components with layout styling, dynamic props, and absolute positioning. Use this to create precisely formatted messages with mixed alignment, multi-section layouts, or dynamic content. The resulting character array can be passed to the **Send Message** tool. Does **not** require authentication — VBML is a public formatting service.

Get Transition Effect

Retrieve the current transition animation configuration for a Vestaboard. Returns the transition type and speed. Only available via the **Cloud API** for Flagship and Vestaboard Note devices (not Note Arrays).

Send Message

Display a message on a Vestaboard. Supports plain text (auto-centered) or a 2D character code array for precise positioning. Works with Cloud API, Subscription API, and Local API authentication. For **Subscription API** users, a `subscriptionId` must be provided to target the board. Use the **Compose VBML** tool first if you need advanced layout, styling, or dynamic content — then pass the resulting character array here.

Set Transition Effect

Configure the transition animation that plays when the Vestaboard changes between messages. Choose a transition type and speed. Only available via the **Cloud API** for Flagship and Vestaboard Note devices (not Note Arrays).
