i am trying to get some information about LG webOS TVs. For some home automation i would need these two information. Maybe someone can tell me where I should look for that or how to get these information:

1) I would need all the app ids from all apps which are installed on the tv. I do have some already but not all of them.

2) I also would need all the button bindings of the remote. Same as for the app ids, i know a few but not all.

Please have a look at the codes. It would be really nice if someone can provide a list or tell me how to get these.

Thank you very much!

App ID list:
"com.webos.app.hdmi1" = "HDMI-1",
"com.webos.app.hdmi2" = "HDMI-2",
"com.webos.app.hdmi3" = "HDMI-3",
"com.webos.app.hdmi4" = "HDMI-4",
"com.webos.app.today" = "Heute",
"lovefilm.de" = "Amazon Prime Video",
"googleplaymovieswebos" = "Google Play Filme",
"youtube.leanback.v4" = "YouTube",
"com.webos.app.browser" = "Webbrowser",
"com.webos.app.connectionwizard" = "Geräteanschluss",
"com.webos.app.smartshare" = "SmartShare",
"com.webos.app.miracast" = "Screen Share",
"com.webos.app.notificationcenter" = "Benachrichtigungen",
"com.palm.app.settings" = "Einstellungen",
"com.webos.app.softwareupdate" = "Software-Update",
"de.2kit.castbrowserlg" = "TV Cast"]
"com.webos.app.livetv"="TV",
"com.webos.app.tvguide"="TV Guide",
"youtube.leanback.v4" = "Youtube",
"googleplay" = "googleplay"

Assuming you have a websocket port 3000 open on your TV, you can list apps using LGWebOSRemote:

$ lgtv listApps | jq '.payload.launchPoints[] | .id + ": " + .title'
"com.webos.app.hdmi3: HDMI 3 - PC"
"youtube.leanback.v4: YouTube"

... or simply run lgtv listApps for unfiltered JSON.

Tested on an LG UK6750PLD with webOS 4.1.0.

In the libraries i've seen, button codes were hard-coded as commands.
