SmartThings Rest API using Tasker

I’d like to use Tasker HTTP Request on Android to set the text field of @Mariano_Colmenarejo new-release-edge-driver-virtual-appliances-mc-virtual-switch-mirror-virtual-calendar-and-virtual-switch-board virtual driver. Do you know what the API command format would be to set some external text into the text field of this virtual driver?

Componet
Capability
Command
Arguments

UPDATE!
Nevermind, I was able to figure it out. WOW!

Issued the ‘smartthings devices:command [ID]’ and saw the capabilities and commands for the device. Then I setup the HTTP Request action and walla, Tasker posted the “%HTTPD” external text to the virtual text device. And I thought figuring it out myself would be outside my ability. So now I can set the text field of the virtual text device to the HTTP Get from ‘checkip.amazonaws.com’.
