Nostat.us is a message first service, where communication is king.
Today I’m taking a crack at documenting a brief api for Nostat.us, Victus Media’s simple group messaging service. I expect there may be some changes and iterating while we home in on a solid framework. The first steps are important, and we’ve opted to expose as much of the process as possible while releasing an interesting alternative to other social web options. The examples shown are JavaScript access but any favorite web programming language will do.
authenticate
http://nostat.us/checkpassword/(user)/(password)
send message
$.post(“/sendmessage/”+user+”/”+escape(message), function(data){ alert(data.status); window.location.reload(); });
follow user
send message to group
$.post(“/sendmessage/”+user+”/”+escape(“group:”+group+” “+message));
add subscription to group
$.post(“/addsubscription/”+user+”/”+subscription);
Here’s an example of javascript accessing the Nostat.us api which is active on the Nostat.us site.
Any questions, concerns, or corrections? Don’t hesitate to contact us (messel at victusmedia dot com).
