How it works

SharedCopy provides APIs in the form of callbacks that allows application writers to receive annotation data from SharedCopy, and process it however you want.

Whenever a user saves his annotations and uses your callback, SharedCopy will contact your URL and send it the annotation data for processing. Some examples of what kind of processing could be done: Email the comments to yourself, post to another website, store them in your own database, etc..

Annotation Data

The following will be the HTTP POST parameters sent to your callback URL:

1. api_key
   This will be a string of alpha-numeric characters. You will get this once you have created an API
2. user_ip
   IP address of the person who clicked 'Save'
3. user_agent
   User-agent string of the above-mentioned person's browser
4. html
   This is the latest copy of the web page HTML
5. posting
   This your comments, formatted nicely in blog-friendly HTML
6. comments
   This is an Atom XML (see example) containing the comments. Check the version tag to make sure you extract the latest comments
7. url
   The URL of the original webpage
8. copy_url
   The URL of the copy, i.e. webpage with comments
