Usage

Get SPINderella up and running. Then, use your favourite REST client against one of our REST APIs.

HTML UI

Point your good ol' browser to http://localhost:80 for some self-explanatory HTML UI.

Form-style POST API

HTTP POST requests can be made against SPINderella's form-style POST APIs

curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST -d "spinQueryText={your_SPIN_query}" http://localhost:80/api/spin/sparql

and

curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST -d "sparqlQueryText={your_SPARQL_query}&spinQueryURI={your_SPIN_resourceURI}" http://localhost:80/api/sparql/spin

The parameter spinQueryURI is optional. If not set, SPINderella defaults to a blank node.
