Need help setting up basic html access

[enginician637]

Current Situation

Apologies in advance for maybe asking a dumb question.

I use LabVIEW to operate my own home-brew acquisition and control system.
I have Shelly switches and power monitors, and I can use html requests like this to control it via my LAN:
192.168.1.10/rpc/Switch.Set?id=0&on=true

I was hoping to be able to do something similarly simple to operate my SwitchBot, but...
I see a LOT of info about the API, generating a token and a secret key, but all the examples show python or C code or similar, and I'm confused because I don't use any of those.

I have the switchbot hub mini.
I just want to be able to execute a switchbot button press on command.
I'm wondering if there's a simpler way.
Do I really need a token and a secret key?
If so, is there a way to generate those with html, from a browser?
And what's the html syntax to generate a button press?

Thanks!

How can I set up the API without using any scripting or programming languages, just through a web browser? Can the PHP code be run from a browser?
Also, once that's done, can I send commands with HTML PUT and GET syntax? Where do I find that syntax?

Since you mentioned wanting to do this in HTML, I interpreted that as an intention to run it in the browser.

For reference, here is the HTML.

Here is the JavaScript code for browsers that generates the signature.

However, because the SwitchBot API does not respond to CORS Option requests (preflight requests), you cannot normally execute it unless you disable browser security when launching.
In other words, since it is blocked by CORS, the SwitchBot API is not designed to be called from a browser, but rather assumes it will be called from some kind of script or program.

For Chrome, you need to start it with something like:chrome.exe --disable-web-security and then open the HTML file.
