I am currently following the etherpad documentation in regards to calling the HTTP API "getText"
How would the API call be structured given these parameters?
Pad content can be updated and retrieved through the API
getText(padID, [rev]) returns the text of a pad
Example returns:
{code: 0, message:"ok", data: {text:"Welcome Text"}}
{code: 1, message:"padID does not exist", data: null}
You'll need 2 parameters:
- apiKey
- padID
The apiKey can be retrieved from a text file named APIKEY.txt
in the root of etherpad-lite.
The padID is in the format groupID$padID
.
Putting it all together, you can query the pad's content using the following endpoint and payload:
http://pad.domain.com/api/1/getText?apikey=<apiKey>&padID=<padID>
Ex: http://pad.domain.com/api/1/getText?apikey=6b2d257663asddfe8c78f33f94d8e7290asdasd1dea820ea0c37cf42602ea5eef3c&padID=g.fcXsYTpiNlJMwX35$samplePad
