This is the available telegraph API:

• createAccount
• createPage
• editAccountInfo
• editPage
• getAccountInfo
• getPage
• getPageList
• getViews
• revokeAccessToken

First, I do not care about page views, so I remove the getViews API.

Second, remove the account concept:

• createPage
• editPage
• getPage

Hmm, deletePage is missing. And editPage requires an account or a special token. Thus I make page immutable, and remove editPage. Thus only two API interfaces are left:

• createPage
• getPage

Since I only care about page content, then getPage is unnecessary (just go the url in browser).

Therefore I wrote this simple script to post content to telegraph.

echo '<p>Hello world!</p>' | telegraphet hello

I still need to create an account beforehand though. telegraph requires an account to create a new page.

telegraph --init PICKUP_A_USERNAME

If you already have a telegraph, you can setup the access token via environment variable or configuration file.

# config file
mkdir -p ~/.config/telegraphet
echo '{ "token": "YOUR_TOKEN" }' > ~/.config/telegraphet/config.json
# environment variable
echo '<p>hi</p>' | TELEGRAPH_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN telegraphet hi
