Post using CURL instructions

Step by step guide

• Step 1: Endpoint

  To send a new feed to be indexed you must build a POST request to the following URL (replace constants with the values that the Empathy team has provided to you):

  POST INDEX_SERVICE_URL/services/jobs/submit/INDEX_TOKEN/FEED_ID

• Step 2: Samples using CURL

  - Text File (default)

  1
  curl -H "Content-Type:text/xml" -d @YOUR_FILE -X POST https://INDEX_SERVICE_URL/services/jobs/submit/INDEX_TOKEN/FEED_ID
  

  You must include the headers according your contents, for example use:

  • Please note that in @YOUR_FILE the @ denote that is a file, it’s mandatory (ex. @my_feed.xml)
  • Content-Type:text/xml -> XML DATA
  • Content-Type:application/json -> JSON DATA

  • INDEX_SERVICE_URL could be:

    • https://preindex.empathybroker.com
    • https://index.empathybroker.com

  - Binary File

  1
  curl -H"Content-Type:application/zip"--data-binary @YOUR_FILE -X POST https://INDEX_SERVICE_URL/services/jobs/submit/INDEX_TOKEN/FEED_ID
  

  If you use a binary file, like zip or gzip files your must specify a new parameter called --data-binary:

  • Please note that in @YOUR_FILE the @ denote that is a file, it’s mandatory (ex. @my_feed.xml)
  • Content-Type:application/zip -> ZIP files
  • Content-Type:application/gzip -> GZIP files

  - Please ask us for other options

• Step 3: Check indexer jobs

  CURL call will return a state of the indexation where it will detail if everything went OK, or there was any kind of error. Sometimes thought, the response will give you an “state: QUEUED” that might not be really clear. In case you want to check an historic of your indexing calls and see if anything is stuck you can access to this:
