Getting started

You must install the components using pip:

$ git clone https://github.com/natea/valentunes.git
$ virtualenv valentunes
$ cd valentunes
$ source bin/activate
$ easy_install pip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you can start up Django with:

$ cd vt
$ ./manage.py runserver

Testing with Poster

Download Poster this Firefox plugin.

And then pass a POST using the following as the content:

{
    "interests": "Hello",
    "to_email": "",
    "from_name": "Anna",
    "intro_note": "",
    "to_phone": "",
    "from_email": "",
    "recipient_name": "Nate",
    "from_phone": ""
}

Make sure that you set the Content-type to application/json The response should return the URL to the new object that was just created. i.e.:

http://localhost:8000/api/card/10/

Testing with curl (don't use - this is deprecated)

To add a new card via the API, type this command in the terminal:

$ curl localhost:8000/api/card/ -F "from_name=Nate" -F "[email protected]"
{
    "interests": "",
    "to_email": "",
    "from_name": "Josh",
    "create_date": "2011-02-12 18:25:45",
    "intro_note": "",
    "_state": "<django.db.models.base.ModelState object at 0x1019b2910>",
    "to_phone": "",
    "from_email": "[email protected]",
    "recipient_name": "",
    "from_phone": "",
    "id": 3
}

Now fetch that record you just created:

$ curl localhost:8000/api/3/
{
    "interests": "",
    "to_email": "",
    "from_name": "Nate",
    "create_date": "2011-02-12 18:25:45",
    "intro_note": "",
    "_state": "<django.db.models.base.ModelState object at 0x1019b2c90>",
    "to_phone": "",
    "from_email": "[email protected]",
    "recipient_name": "",
    "from_phone": "",
    "id": 3

If you want to delete the record, type this command:

$ curl-X DELETE http://localhost:8000/api/1/
