Typo on front page

Hi there, just wanted to let you know there is a typo on the front page. It is currently written "As a visulaization" and it should be "As a visualization".

Thanks so much. James.

POST vs PUT pixel

Hi, I'm new to programming and just got started working on a fun project with APIs with python. I am not totally new to how APIs work, but know enough.

I am having trouble distinguishing the behavior of these two methods. I've seen tutorial videos made in the past where the POST method will not work if there is already an existing Pixel present on the same date. But oddly enough, that's now allowed. How is this different from modifying my Pixel with the PUT method to update it?

Should the PUT method be strictly only be used to modify Pixels, and the POST method be strictly used to create new pixels as worded in the documentation?

TLDR; how is it that I am able to overwrite/modify Pixels with the POST method? Is this an intended feature or a minor bug that should be addressed?

Regarding request rejecting (Pixela v1.25.0)

Since v1.25.0 of Pixela, requests to the API are rejected 25% of the time.

Please comment with your views on this change.

Display mode 'medium'

Hi,

I hope 'medium' display mode for displaying only about 180 days.
GET /v1/users/<username>/graphs/<graphID>

Thanks for a fun service!

Haskell Client Library

I have created a CLI tool and a client library for Haskell.

Thanks!

Documentation for timezone name

rel #26
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

“POST /v1/users/<username>/webhooks” returns “webhookHash” instead of “hashString”

The document (https://pixe.la/) says “POST /v1/users/<username>/webhooks” returns following.

{"hashString":"<WebhookHashString>","message":"Success.","isSuccess":true}

But it actually looks like following.

{"webhookHash":"<WebhookHashString>","message":"Success.","isSuccess":true}

Which is correct?

[Request] Get "a" graph definition json

I appreciate excellent product. Today, I have a request.

I want an endpoint that returns JSON for "a" graph for a specified ID.

Details:
Now I'm implementing a terraform provider for Pixela.

https://github.com/budougumi0617/terraform-provider-pixela

To create a terraform provider, we need to be able to perform CRUD operations to the resources.

https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/provider-use?in=terraform/providers

However, your service does not have an public endpoint to get the json of the definition for the specified graph.
GET - /v1/users/<username>/graphs/<graphID> returns svg data.

• https://docs.pixe.la/entry/get-svg

Therefore, my implementation is using an alternative what I get the JSON for all the graph definitions and then search the graph information for a specified ID. even as the number of graphs defined by provider increases, this operation will be performed for each graph.
This is an unnecessary operation and may put an extra load on the server.

I'd appreciate if you would examine this request.

Regards,

Support Dark Mode

Hi @a-know

Please support Dark Mode.

For graph detail HTML, use color-scheme .
In the case of SVG, I think it is better to judge it with color query.

API to get graph pixels list returns response without CORS headers

Get graph pixels list

Because of returnning response without CORS headers, my request is failed using axios.
I guess, it doesn't implement the OPTIONS method.

The error message below.

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://pixe.la/v1/users/ryosms/graphs/<awesome-graph-id>/pixels' from origin 'https://my-awesome-app.example.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

400 Bad Request

400. That’s an error.

Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know.

Process finished with exit code 0

#the code is:
import requests

pixela_endpoint = "https://pixe.la/v1/users"

user_params = {
"token": "b2hjb234235vjb523b523kj",
"username": "adiadiadrian1919",
"agreeTermsOfService": "yes",
"notMinor": "yes"
}

response = requests.get(url=pixela_endpoint, json=user_params)
print(response.text)

Pateron Here - Posting Data for more than multiple days at 1 time

Using the current method I can post the data for 1 single date

$ curl -X POST https://pixe.la/v1/users/a-know/graphs/test-graph -H 'X-USER-TOKEN:thisissecret' -d '{"date":"20180915","quantity":"5","optionalData":"{"key":"value"}"}'

How do I modify the above to enter data for mulitple dates say
date:20180914 , qty 3
date:20180913 , qty 5
date:20180912 , qty 6

Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values at GET - /v1/users/<username>/graphs/<graphID>

Actual

https://pixe.la/@sue445 を見る限り、他のグラフも死んでいるように見えます

Pixel details showing data, but colors aren't appearing and Today's value set to 0

The colors were working fine, but suddenly, around midnight all the colors are now gone. I've deleted and created new graphs and there is the same issue. On the side panel it says total pixels 1, a value greater than 0 for the pixel, but the graph is empty and the value for Today is 0

Where to contrib an Emacs ReSTclient file?

I have a pixe.la testing playground file for Emacs' restclient package.
It might come handy to Emacs (and even Vim!) users to quickly hit the ground running in testing pixe.la.
I'd like to contribute it back somewhere. PR to this repo? Wiki?

Can not update only timezone

Hello.

I want to update timezone in my graph. (v1.4.0 new feature)
https://github.com/a-know/Pixela/releases/tag/v1.4.0

But I couldn't update graph because validation error.

$ curl -s -X PUT -H "X-USER-TOKEN: $PIXELA_TOKEN" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"timezone":"Asia/Tokyo"}' "https://pixe.la/v1/users/sue445/graphs/tweets"
{"message":"Either name, unit, color or purgeCacheURLs must be specified.","isSuccess":false}

ピクセルの色の付き方

ピクセルの色のグラデーション仕様がわからないのですが、整数モードで、
0,1,2,3の1刻みのときと、0,10,20,30の10刻みのときの色の付き方が
異なるのは仕様でしょうか?
(小さい数値のときはグラデーション表示は諦めるしかない?)

https://pixe.la/v1/users/sabazo/graphs/testpi.html
0,1,2,3 → 2019/5/19～
0,10,20,30 → 2018/1/16～

Token Authentication

Issue with token authentication when creating an account. It returns the message: {"message":"The token string must be at least 8 characters and not more than 128 letters and numbers or alphanumeric characters or symbols.","isSuccess":false}

Regardless of what I use.
PS: I know the Validation rule: [ -~]{8,128.

This is the token I have used: TOKEN = "khajbdvahdgy72y8his83"

Request to change blog links on wiki

Due to the end of the blog service Qrunch, I migrated my articles to own GitHub Pages.
I would appreciate it if you could modify the links to my articles on the wiki Useful case examples page.

My articles are the follwoing:

Thank you for providing such a cool app!

Access to hourly data via API

I'm not a Patreon member (yet!), but it seems as if there is the ability to click on a pixel and show hourly data for that day / pixel for paying Patrons. However, the API to add a pixel only allows you to add for an entire day. But I have some structured hourly data that I would to add. Is that possible? Or is hourly data only available via real-time / web hook methods? Thanks!

I found a typo in Wiki page

Hi,

I found a typo below.

Time Zone

Hai,

Can I know how to format the time zone in post graph payload. It is always showing me "Invalid Time Zonw"

Increment by value higher than 1 / rate limit?

Hello there! So, I am trying to add real-time data in increments larger than 1, for example, ounces of water that I drink. When I finish a water bottle, that would be 24 ounces. I have tried to run this in iOS Shortcuts that sends 24 "increment" PUT messages in a loop, but it is returning an error saying it "cannot parse response." My guess is that I am hitting a rate limit. Am I? Is there better way to increment a pixel by a value larger than one? Or is there a way to add a number to a pixel without replacing the entire pixel?

Thanks!

Response has no CORS headers in case of error response

EX: Get a Pixel API

If Pixel is registerd, API return 200 status with CORS headers.
But in case of error, API return without CORS headers.
Add CORS headers even in case of error response, please.

thanks.

How to properly render svg on markdown of GitHub

I write it in README.md as follows, but it becomes png output on GitHub side.
I am using the API of increment, but the graph is not updated.

How do I write it for rendering correctly?
