dyanote

Dyanote is an hypertext-based note-taking application and this is the server side.

API

The server side consists of a REST API which currently can be accessed at the following urls:

https://dyanote.herokuapp.com/
https://api.dyanote.com/

Login

We use OAuth2 for authenticating. Login with an URL encoded post request to:

POST /api/users/user@example.com/login/
    ?client_id=CLIENT_ID          // Client ID
    &client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET  // Client Secret
    &grant_type=password
    &username=USERNAME // Email of the user to login
    &password=PASSWORD // Password of the user

-> { data: {..., access_token: "This is the token you'll need to use in every request"} }

At the time of writing, the javascript client on dyanote.com uses the following credentials:

Client ID: edfd9c435154a6f75673
Client Secret: cf3aba97518712959062b52dc5c524dd4f6741bd

If your application is going to be used much, please contact me (I'll create new credentials for you)

Access to protected resources

All requests requiring authentication will need the following HTTP header:

Authorization: Bearer <token>
