Notes
To post to Posterous all you need is Curl:
curl http://posterous.com/api/newpost -u username@domain:password -d title="Curl test" -d body="A body"
Returns this response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rsp stat="ok"> <post> <id>14831430</id> <url>http://post.ly/WOB8</url> <longurl>http://username.posterous.com/curl-test</longurl> <title>Curl test</title> <commentsenabled>true</commentsenabled> </post> </rsp>
To update a post you need the post ID which you got in the response:
curl http://posterous.com/api/updatepost -u username@domain:password -d post_id="14831430" -d body="A dead body"
returns:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rsp stat="ok"> <post> <id>14831430</id> <url>http://post.ly/WOB8</url> <longurl>http://username.posterous.com/curl-test</longurl> <title>Curl test</title> <commentsenabled>true</commentsenabled> </post> </rsp>
Note that the reponse includes both a short and long URL.
If you fail to supply the post id or supply one that isn't recognized you get this instead:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rsp stat="fail"> <err code="3007" msg="Invalid post id. Post not found" /> </rsp>
So how about body text that is too long for the command line?
curl http://posterous.com/api/newpost -u username@domain:password -d title="Big body" --data-urlencode body=@curlposterous.txt
gives this response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rsp stat="ok"> <post> <id>14833547</id> <url>http://post.ly/WOap</url> <longurl>http://username.posterous.com/big-body</longurl> <title>Big body</title> <commentsenabled>true</commentsenabled> </post> </rsp>
