Set Timecode Start from Palette fade
Set the Timecode start time for versions pre Titan v14. The challenge is that this reqires a TimecodeTime object but the required cast was only implemented in Titan v14. The workaround is to set the palette fade time (as you would do by simply entering a number) and then call a macro which uses this to set the timecode start time.
For versions from Titan v14 on you can directly set the Timecode starttime using Timecode.TimecodeOne.SetStartTime.

Screenshots
1. use RestMan (or another way to output a Post request) to set the palette fadetime

2. call a macro (here: Timecode - Set Start Time from Palette Fade to use the value as Timecode start time)

In order to call a macro via WebAPI it needs to be in the show library AND needs to be copied/moved to a handle.

How it works
Set Numeric Value the value from the adjacent input field and sends it to Titan as numeric value (as like as used to set a palette fade time).
Set 0, Set 1, Set 5 send some predefined values.
Set TC1 Start fires the macro to use the numeric value as timecode 1 start time.
Remember to download and deploy the macro Timecode - Set Start Time from Palette Fade.
