Upload GML to 000000book

Uploading GML to 000000book.com

Sending your application’s GML data to blackbook is simple, and authenticating or registering your app is optional

Send an HTTP POST request to http://000000book.com/data with a data payload containing:

• gml (text)* — the complete GML data. this will be validated for required GML fields, e.g. at least one x/y point — see GML Minimum Specs — maximum functional size is approx. 1MB
• application (string)* — the name of your application; required, should be unique

Sample

If you are on Mac OS or Linux you can test uploading GML just using `curl`:

curl -A curlwriter -d application=curlwriter&gml="<gml><stroke><pt><x>1</x><y>1</y><t>1</t></pt></stroke></gml>" http://000000book.com/data

• -A = specify a user-agent
• -d = the POST data to send – just need ‘application’ & ‘gml’

Optional Fields

The following fields can be specified either in the GML or via HTTP POST to #000000book, which will write them into the GML for you.

• keywords (string) [comma-separated list of keywords (‘tags’, not to be confused w/ graf tags)]
• location (string) [name like ‘NYC’, lat/long coordinates, or even a URL]
• uniqueKey (string) [a unique device id for device pairing, e.g. iPhone UUID or computer MAC address] (NOTE: currently this field must be in the GML, it is not accepted via POST)
• username (string) [a 000000book user’s login]
• author (string) [the person who was actually writing]

The “uniqueKey” payload can also be provided in order to uniquely identify the uploading device, e.g. an iPhone. User’s can later pair their 000000book account with a specified uniqueKey — see Device Pairing
