Is it possible to start and stop GeoEvent Inputs programmatically using Python?

Question

I need to automate the control of GeoEvent inputs (enable/start and disable/stop) through a Python script instead of manually managing them from GeoEvent Manager. Could you please help me out.

here is code snippet

def start_geoevent_input(token):
# GeoEvent Admin API endpoint for starting a specific service/connector
    api_url = f"{GEOEVENT_URL}/geoevent/rest/inputs/{INPUT_NAME}/start"

headers = {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'
    }

# Send empty POST request to trigger the start action
    response = requests.post(api_url, headers=headers, verify=False)

if response.status_code == 200:
print(f"Successfully sent start command to input: '{INPUT_NAME}'")
print(f"Response: {response.json()}")
else:
print(f"Failed to start input. Status code: {response.status_code}")
print(f"Error: {response.text}")

it worked by using geoevent admin in below url.

def start_input(token, input_id):
    r = requests.get(f"{GEOEVENT}/geoevent/admin/input/{input_id}/start",
params={"token": token, "f": "json"},
headers={"Referer": GEOEVENT}, verify=VERIFY, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
print(f"started: {r.json().get('label')}")

I take a snapshot of the state of all objects in Velocity weekly and try to restart any failed ones.  But I have never tried to do it in geoEvent.
