Accessing the API endpoint

The API is listening on http://rest.receptor.tarpipe.net:8000/. You send data to us by making an HTTP POST to that URL.

The API accepts three optional POST parameters:

title
you can use this field to send the title of the data your posting
body
this field is supposed to carry larger pieces of text, like a blog post, for example
image
this field let's you send any type of binary data

There is a mandatory GET parameter:

key
the token generated when you save a REST API workflow
Also, make sure that you're using the multipart/form-data encoding type, either by using the -F curl option or by defining it in your code.

Example 1. Using curl

This is probably the easiest way to post data. If you don't have curl take a look at its official site.

curl -F title="hello" -F body="world" http://rest.receptor.tarpipe.net:8000/?key=<YOUR WORKFLOW TOKEN>

Example 2. Using an HTML form

Another way

<html>
  <body>
    <form action="http://rest.receptor.tarpipe.net:8000/?key=<YOUR WORKFLOW TOKEN>"
     method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <p><input type="text" name="title"/></p>
      <p><input type="text" name="body"/></p>
      <p><input type="submit" name="Submit"/></p>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
