Is it possible to send multiple variables in a command through the Web API (GET) commands? I'm doing it wrong if it is possible... see below example that is attempting to turn off a running overlay and resume play on a replay clip.

No
But you can send multiple commands as a sequence. Same effect

http://127.0.0.1:8088/api?Function=command1&Input=x
http://127.0.0.1:8088/api?Function=command2&Input=x
http://127.0.0.1:8088/api?Function=command3&Input=x

From any code for example... ASP, VB, PHP, Ruby, Java and so on... or simply from a script using shell, terminal, etc...

Or you can use special tools like vMix UTC or vMix Panel Builder...

Or you can use internal vMix scripting feature as well as triggers and shortcuts in some cases.

If you're thinking about sending commands from within your own tools, I don't know which programming interface you're using but anyway it's just a matter of code
