POST to dillinger
I'd like to make a script to send file I'd like to edit to dillinger from command line. Is there any API for that?
Not currently but a great idea.
Something like POST to http://api.dillinger.io/render where the POST body is markdown and then response is HTML?
Ideally I want to send a POST request from command line script and then finish editing in browser. For this script script needs URL returned from POST request to redirect me to.
Using Dilinger as a markdown rendering service would probably result in abuse, because people probably start embedding it into their sites to render markdown with JavaScript.
Ahh so what you are talking about is significantly more complex as you need a unique URL per POST so you can finish the file later. Need to create a backend and potentially user accounts for this.

Well, I am comfortable to just open a browser and continue editing there, but there is a lot of questions how to command browser to send a POST request.
+1 - or a little more simple. I'd like to create a document via API and then provide a URL to edit that document. An expirable token would be enough to not allow anyone to edit the file. The URL is always generated via an API request.
Does it make sense?
