go get "github.com/elimisteve/go.tent/tent"
Open sample-client.go in your favorite text editor, then set TENT_SERVER and
CURRENT_AUTH_DETAILS.
The correct value for CURRENT_AUTH_DETAILS is some JSON embedded in
the page source of your Tent.is page -- e.g.,
https://elimisteve.tent.is for me since my username elimisteve.
To view source, right-click anywhere on the page then select "View
Page Source" or similar and look for the line that begins with
CURRENT_AUTH_DETAILS. Copy and paste the string within that line's
call to JSON.parse.
The resulting values should look something like this:
TENT_SERVER = "elimisteve.tent.is"
CURRENT_AUTH_DETAILS = `{"mac_key_id":"u:...","mac_key":"...","mac_algorithm":"hmac-sha-256"}`
go run simple-client.go
See the calls to client.GetFollowings(), client.GetStatuses(), and
client.PostStatus(), following client, err := tent.NewClientWithAuthStr(...), in sample-client.go. ...actually, I'll just make it easy:
const (
USERNAME = "your_username_here"
TENT_SERVER = USERNAME + ".tent.is"
CURRENT_AUTH_DETAILS = `{"mac_key_id":"u:...,"mac_key":"...,"mac_algorithm":"hmac-sha-256"}`
)
...
// Construct a client
client, err := tent.NewClientWithAuthStr(TENT_SERVER, CURRENT_AUTH_DETAILS)
...
//
// Get user's recent statuses
//
posts, err := client.GetStatuses()
...
for _, post := range posts {
fmt.Printf("%s: %s\n", post.Entity, post.Content.Text)
}
//
// Get entities that the user follows
//
followings, err := client.GetFollowings()
...
for _, f := range followings {
fmt.Printf("%s\n", f.Entity)
}
//
// Post new status update to TENT_SERVER
//
statusPost, err := client.PostStatus("Hello, Tent!")
...
fmt.Printf("You just posted to Tent.is! See it at https://%s/posts/%s\n",
TENT_SERVER, statusPost.Id)
}
