Opening up Posterous to 3rd Party Developers
- allbutlost 15y agoThe documentation website and inline testing of this api looks great, but here's hoping they keep the old api (as documented at apidocs.posterous.com) alive. They were kind enough to re-add location data to posts coming through the api on request as our just-launched project (http://innertubemap.com/ http://innertubemap.com/) is dependent on it.
- quizbiz 15y agoThis is awesome and a startup I co-founded on will be utilizing this asap. Do you guys have anything that will allow in-site upload to posterous? ie: Uploading a video to Posterous through a form on my site?
- jcapote 15y agoYou can use the rubygem to do just that: https://github.com/posterous/posterous-gem https://github.com/posterous/posterous-gem

- pyre 15y agoI've been working on a library for the Posterous API (in my free time), and this seems like it's a lot better than the old docs. They were wholly inconsistent. Some places would tell you what a response would look like, yet others wouldn't. A couple of the API calls would always give me a 500 error. The docs seemed to imply the once you had an api_token you didn't need to pass the user/pass in every request (just the api_token), but when I did that all of my requests came back authorization denied. So apparently you needed to send user/pass/api_token with every request. Ugh. I never got around to trying to contact them about these issues though. edit: The library, in case anyone was curious: https://github.com/bsandrow/perl-posterous https://github.com/bsandrow/perl-posterous
