Sessions

  1. Authentication
$ curl -d "username=test" -d "password=test" http://localhost:3000/v1/session
{
  "err": null,
  "status": "success",
  "user": {
    "id": "ecad21a5-45be-4eb8-9398-db51415992fb",
    "username": "test",
    "info": {
      "screenName": "test",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "receiveEmails": "0"
    }
  }
}
  1. Registration
$ curl -d "username=test" -d "password=test" http://localhost:3000/v1/signup
{
  "err": null,
  "status": "success",
  "user": {
    "id": "f6f55f5d-c0b5-4fae-92e8-4d12b84fbe2d",
    "username": "test",
    "info": {
      "screenName": "test"
    }
  }
}

By default unauthenticated user is anonymous user and he cannot edit or delete his posts or comments, so in the examples below I'm assuming cookie connect.sid is set to a current session. (e.g. -b "cookie.sid=your_cookie_here".)

Post

  1. Create new post
$ curl -d "body=test2" http://localhost:3000/v1/posts

  "body": "test2",
  "createdAt": 1380397179394,
  "updatedAt": 1380397179394,
  "comments": [],
  "attachments": [],
  "likes": [],
  "createdBy": {
    "id": "0aeb1250-7686-43b6-be15-35b7cede21b4",
    "username": "test",
    "info": {
      "screenName": "test"
    }
  },
  "groups": [
    {
