Examples

Below is an example of a request body representing a link to a document:

{
    "name": "Dataflow",
    "type_id": 6,
    "value": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow"
}

Provided the content is saved in a file named body.json (required), a request can be done like this:

login=<your_login>
password=<your_password>
saymon_hostname=<your_saymon_hostname>
flow_id=<your_flow_id>
url=https://$saymon_hostname/node/api/flows/$flow_id/docs

curl -X POST $url -u $login:$password \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data @/path/to/body.json

const request = require("request");
const fs = require("fs");

let login = <your_login>
let password = <your_password>
let saymon_hostname = <your_saymon_hostname>
let flow_id = <your_flow_id>
let url = "https://" + saymon_hostname + "/node/api/flows/" +
    flow_id + "/docs";

let auth = "Basic " + Buffer.from(login + ":" + password).toString("base64");
let body = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("/path/to/body.json"));

let options = {
    method: "POST",
    url: url,
    headers: {
        Authorization: auth
    },
    json : body
};

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
    if (error) throw new Error(error);
});

import requests
import json

login = <your_login>
password = <your_password>
saymon_hostname = <your_saymon_hostname>
flow_id = <your_flow_id>
url = "https://" + saymon_hostname + "/node/api/flows/" + \
    flow_id + "/docs"

with open("/path/to/body.json", "r") as f:
    body = json.load(f)

response = requests.request("POST", url, json=body, auth=(login, password))
print(response.text)
