Request API

Requests listed here describe a basic form of the Buttercup server API.

Account requests

Account-based requests can be made to the /account path. These requests should usually not be made public.

Method	Example	Description
POST	`{ "request": "create", "email": "", "passw": "" }`	Create a new account with `email` and `passw`.

Archive requests (getting, saving) can be made to the /archive path.

Method	Example	Description
POST	`{ "request": "get", "email": "", "passw": "" }`	Get an existing archive. Returns an archive response.
POST	`{ "request": "save", "email": "", "passw": "", "archive": "" }`	Save an archive to the server.

A successful response when retrieving an archive may look like the following:
