What's the API?

An API ("application programming interface") is how two programs can talk to each other remotely. Nomie's API lets you send data from external apps / websites / services into Nomie. Nomie's API DOES NOT send data OUT of the app, only for bringing data in (for security purposes).

Rules of the API

• You have 10 slots available at any time. (10 slot limitation cannot be increased - for now)
• One note saved to the API fills one slot.
• Auto Import will clear out the slots once all have been imported.
• The API will return an error when no more slots are available.

Enabling your Nomie API.

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap the Data Tab
3. Tap Nomie API
4. Tap "Generate API Key"

This should generate you a new API Key

Sending Data to your API

• URL: https://nomieapi.com/log
• METHOD: POST
• BODY: application/json

Body JSON payload options

• note - the content of the note to save in Nomie. Can include #tracker, @people, +context, text, anything
• api_key - your api key
• lat - latitude of a location
• lng - longitude of a location
• date - Date of event - any javascript date format

Minimum required body payload

{
  "note": "Content of Note to save to nomie",
  "api_key": "YOUR API KEY"
}

All Available Options

{
    "lat": 31.3456,
    "lng" : -81.43235,
    "date": "2020-09-14T12:00:00.130Z",
    "note" : "#tracker(123) @person +context",
    "api_key": "YOUR API KEY"
}

Curl Example

curl --request POST \
  --url https://nomieapi.com/log \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "lat": 31.3456,
    "lng" : -81.43235,
    "date": "2020-09-14T12:00:00.130Z",
    "note" : "NOTE CONTENT HERE",
    "api_key": "YOUR API KEY"
}'

Once you've successfully pushed a note into the API, tap the "Captured" tab, and you should see your note. Click "Accept" to import it into Nomie.

Pro Tip: having to manually accept each log is annoying. Enable Auto Accept to automatically import logs each time you launch nomie.
