Question

我正在尝试向我的应用添加公共API，以允许用户通过API调用将项添加到我的应用中。

虽然我有点困惑.....

到目前为止，我已经输出了一个很棒的xml页面，其中所有的模型数据都非常完美......

def index   
  @events = Event.all
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html 
    format.xml  { render :xml => @events }
    format.json { render :json => @events }
  end
end

所以我假设我能够将相同的respond_to块添加到CREATE或NEW操作（哪一个？）并在那里获得某种形式的API功能？但我对整个过程的运作方式感到困惑......

例如，如果我的事件模型只有一个字段=＆gt; name：string

我如何通过网络服务添加记录？

  ???? ==> curl http://localhost:3000/events[??????add??????]

See this post使用cURL测试REST应用程序。

引用：

-X [action]: Allows you to specify an HTTP action such as GET, POST, PUT or DELETE.
Example:

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:3000/books/1

-d [parameter]: Lets you set variables as if they were POSTed in a form to the URL. Note that this automatically makes the request a POST HTTP action type (no -X necessary).
Example:

curl -d "book[title]=Test" -d "book[copyright]=1998"
http://localhost:3000/books

-H [header]: Gives you the option of setting an HTTP header such as Content-Type or Accept. This is particularly useful for requesting text/xml as the Accept type.
Example:

curl -H "Accept: text/xml"
http://localhost:3000/books/sections/1
