Micropub

Snout.nu now supports Micropub, the open API standard for creating and updating posts from your own tools. If your editor or app supports Micropub, it can post directly to your blog. No need to use the Snout.nu dashboard.

How do I use it from my client?

Option 1: Use an authorization token

You can generate an authorization token from your settings page. When prompted to log in, enter your blog URL (e.g., yourname.snout.nu or your custom domain) as the website.

Option 2: Use the regular login flow

Most Micropub clients will prompt you for your website. Enter your Snout.nu blog URL. You'll go through the usual authorization flow. If you're asked to sign in with your email, you'll be redirected back to the authorization screen after login.

Features Supported

• Editing existing content
• Deleting existing content
• Posting new content
• Fetching post content with ?q=source (on some clients like IndiePass, you'll need to enable it in the experiments section of the settings)
• Drafts (post-status: draft)

While we look for a good media provider, media uploading won't work as of yet.
