I want to see a Rest API version of this for the Blackmagic Micro Studio G2.

How would one communicate with the Micro G2? No Bluetooth.
It would have to be hard wired.

"Camera Control REST API over USB Ethernet for external control via HTTP when used with REST client applications such as Postman."

That's the point. I want one of these that connect to the SDI port.

He has responded in his comments regarding using the SDI API.

"Sadly Blackmagic has not made an api for USB-C control, even though it must have it because they have products that use it. Same for HDMI. SDI is the only api i could use and using sdi is big, bulky and probably not something I know how to do."

I don't believe that's correct. The REST API works over usbc (ethernet/network) and is well documented. BT/SDI doesn't use an API and relies on good old fashioned coding. Maybe there's a disconnect between usb connector and usb protocol? REST camera control between a laptop and camera can just be straight usbc with no need for adapters though it's still a network connection.
