STOMT API v2.11.380

Request/Response format ¶

Read this first!

To keep the API endpoint flexible, maintainable and extendable, we defined a standard set of custom HTTP headers and a fix output format. In this section you’ll learn how requests are build and how responses will always look like.

Must Read (3 min) ¶

1. APP ID ¶

This header has to be sent with each request you make.

appid:       (string) // specific id for your app, website or what you build

How to obtain an appid ¶

1. Register on www.stomt.com

2. Create a target page on stomt.

3. Go to Manage > Apps and create an application.

2. Requests that require authentication ¶

You need to send an access-token. You’ll receive one after login, methods marked with [LOGIN REQUIRED] have to be called with a valid token of an user account. Endpoints marked with [LOGIN or ANONYM] can also be accessed with an anonym accounts token, read more about anonym accounts in Authentication.

accesstoken: (string) // token which represents your current session

• Don’t forget to use HTTPS (Port 443)

• Set Accept header to “application/json”

• We recommend Postman REST-Client to test against the API

3. Standard Response Format ¶

• We will always return content-type application/json

• We will always return a response body in the following format:

{
    // Always | Some meta information
    "meta": {},

    // Always | Contains the actual response
    "data":     (object or array),  // The requested entity or an array of entities

    // Optional | Only if error occurs
    "error":    (string)    // Human readable error message
}

4. Pagination ¶

Use ?offset=(integer) and ?limit=(integer) parameters.

5. Test Environment / stomt Sandbox ¶

Please use our testservers during for development purposes:

• Test REST API: https://test.rest.stomt.com

• Test Webplatform: https://test.stomt.com (Platform)

6. Feedback ¶

Please leave your feedback in form of wishes on our stomt-API profile

Authentication ¶

We have three different Authentication flows.

Normal Credential flow ¶

1. Register an user via POST req. to /authentication/

2. Get an access token via POST req. to /authentication/session

Facebook Connect flow ¶

1. Retrieve a Login URL by GET /authentication/facebook/url

2. Redirect the user to the URL you obtained in (1)

3. POST retrieved code and state and login_method:facebook to /authentication/session

Reddit Connect flow ¶

1. Get an Auth-URL per GET /authentication/reddit/authorizationurl

2. Redirect the user to the URL you obtained in (1)

3. POST retrieved code and state and login_method:reddit to /authentication/session

Twitter Connect flow ¶

1. Retrieve a Login URL by GET /authentication/twitter/url

2. Redirect the user to the URL you obtained in (1)

3. POST retrieved oauth_token and oauth_verifier and login_method:twitter to /authentication/session

Anonym Account ¶

You are able to perform a limited amount of actions before registration and transform them in a real afterwards.

1. Get an access token by performing any POST request which is flagged with [ANONYM]
2. Use this token for all further requests
3. To create a real account which contains all earlier actions of the anonym account, perform one of the other flows with the token you have

Targets ¶

Targets are the most important and complex resources. stomt is built to feedback anything, even friends and general things (e.g. I wish life had a pause button). Therefore nearly anything is saved as a Target and depending on its type additional type specific data.

Content-Type: application/json

{
    "displayname":    (string),  // required
    "category_id":    (string),  // required, existing category id
    "username":       (string),  // optional, unique slug
    "image":          (string),  // optional, name of an uploaded image
    "parent_id":      (string),  // optional, id of an other target
    "as_target_owner" (boolean)  // (default: true) add your account as owner of the page
}
