Post to Micro.blog (with Title)

Action

Posted by @mattbirchler, Last update over 6 years ago

This is the same as the built in micro.blog script, but you can add a post title by adding a line with “# ” (include the space) in the first line of the draft. The first line will be the title (minus the pound sign and space) and everything below that will be the content.

If there is no “# “ on the first line, the entire draft is assumed to be the content and no title will be added.

Steps

script

/*
  post to Micro.blog hosted account
  using Micropub API
*/

// First run, you will be prompted for
// App Token. Generate tokens on the Micro.blog
// Account page
var credential = Credential.create("Micro.blog", "Insert Micro.blog app token generated on Micro.blog account page.");

credential.addTextField("apptoken", "App Token");
credential.authorize();

var appToken = credential.getValue("apptoken");

// Setup micro.blog API and content 
var endpoint = "https://micro.blog/micropub"
var content = draft.content
var array_of_content = draft.content.split("\n");
var post_title = "";
if (array_of_content[0].charAt(0) == "#") {
	post_title += array_of_content[0].slice(2);
}

var real_content = ""

for (i = 1; i < array_of_content.length; i++) {
	real_content += array_of_content[i] + "\n";
}

// create and post HTTP request
var http = HTTP.create();

if (post_title == "") {
var response = http.request({
  "url": endpoint,
  "method": "POST",
  "encoding": "form",
  "data": {
  		"h": "entry",
  		"content": content
  },
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer " + appToken
  }

} else {
var response = http.request({

    "name": post_title,
    "content": real_content
  },
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer " + appToken
  }
});
}

console.log("Response: " + response.statusCode);

if (response.statusCode != 200 && response.statusCode != 202) {
  context.fail();
