Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

  • I am grahamgilbert on github.
  • I am grahamgilbert (https://keybase.io/grahamgilbert) on keybase.
  • I have a public key ASDdB4_Tt3Pfh7-qvEoOSZCAfoUJoxgTtv8YoyA3MTGHdwo

To claim this, I am signing this object:

select username,uuid,uid,gid,description,directory, case WHEN uuid in (SELECT users.uuid FROM user_groups INNER JOIN users ON user_groups.uid = users.uid WHERE user_groups.gid = 80) THEN "admin" ELSE "standard" END AS user_type from users;

grahamgilbert / API.md
Created June 24, 2017 15:44
Proposed changes to the API docs

Sal has a REST API. You will need to create an API key before using it. You should send your private key and public key as headers (publickey and privatekey). Some actions can only be performed by API keys that have been marked as read / write in Sal.

General notes

Sal's API will generally return a response similar to the following:

{"count":362,"next":"https://sal.example.com/api/conditions/?condition=machine_type&page=2","previous":null,"results":[...]}
