API Service

Welcome to the shrib.com API service.

You can now use the API to read and write notes to shrib.com.

Please note that this is a brand new service. In order to get your API key, request it from me here:

→ application form

Syntax

The URL is

https://api.shrib.com/<note>

Where <note> is your note name (as in https://shrib.com/<note>).

The data is

HTTP Method

The recommended way to access the service is through a correct HTTP request (everything UTF-8):

  1. use the HTTP GET method to read a note, the HTTP POST method to write a note.

  2. send your API key as a HTTP header.

  3. to write a note: urlencode your note text in one POST field called "text" and send it as content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

  4. use the URL https://api.shrib.com/<note>.

If the call is successful, the reply contains a HTTP header and the urlencoded (new) note text as text/plain. If there is an error, it is reported in the HTTP request/response line.

Here's an example PHP code to read a note (GET):

	<?php

	$ch = curl_init("https://api.shrib.com/<note>"); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('key: <key>'));
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	$response = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close ($ch);
	$text=urldecode($response);
	echo '<pre>'.$text.'</pre>';

	?>

Here's an example PHP code to write a note (POST):

	<?php

	$ch = curl_init("https://api.shrib.com/<note>"); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('key: <key>'));
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'text='.urlencode('<text>'));
	$response = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close ($ch);
	$text=urldecode($response);
	echo '<pre>'.$text.'</pre>';

	?>

URL Method

For testing purposes, there is also a URL-based method. However, this is not recommended. It requires you to put your API key into the URL.

Example: https://api.shrib.com/somenote?key=wer987lejf&text=testUrl
