COVERITLIVE API - CONTENT/CREATE (V. 2.0)

The Request

This method allows you to post content directly into your live event from a custom application. Once set up you will be able to auto-publish content (including text and multimedia) from external sources such as 3rd party image or content management systems. Set it up once and let the API do all the work during your event. This allows CoveritLive to be integrated with just about any application that can connect to the web.

Additional request parameters when content_type is not set:

Additional request parameters when content_type is set to "rss":

Additional request parameters when content_type is set to "html":

The Response

The id of a successfully created content item is returned in the data field of a general response. This field will consist of a item_id field, which contains the item id. Items can be further interacted with using the content/* API calls.

Please Note: If the published_status request parameter is set to "moderated", the item_id will NOT be returned in the response. This is because moderated items are added to the SmartStream, and cannot be further interacted with through the API.

Example response to a successful content/create request:

{
	"result": "success",
	"message": "true",
	"type": "content",
	"action": "create",
	"version": 2,
	"data":{
		"item_id" : "22185041"
	}
}

Please Note: If the item_id request parameter has been included, the item created was an inserted item. In that case its id is returned in a field called insert_id, to distinguish it from regularly created content items. Inserted items can be further interacted with using the insert/* API calls.

Example response to a successful content/create request if the item_id request parameter has been included:

{
	"result": "success",
	"message": "true",
	"type": "content",
	"action": "create",
	"version": 2,
	"data":{
		"insert_id" : "22185041"
	}
}
