+[b][size=xx-large]Posting to the Matrix via the API[/size][/b]
+
+The API allows you to post to the red# by HTTP POST request. Below you see an example using the command line tool cURL:
+
+[code]curl -ssl -u [color=blue]$E-Mail[/color]:[color=blue]$Password[/color] -d "[color=blue]$Parameters[/color]" [url][observer.baseurl]/api/statuses/update
+[/url][/code]
+[table][tr][td]$E-Mail:[/td][td]The E-Mail Adress you use to login[/td][/tr]
+[tr][td]$Password:[/td][td]The Password you use to login[/td][/tr]
+[tr][td]$Parameters:[/td][td]That's the interesting part, here you insert the content you want to send using the following parameters:[/td][/tr][/table]
+
+[ul]
+[*]title: the title of the posting
+[*]channel: the channel you want to post to 
+[*]category: a comma-seperated list of categories for the posting
+[*]status: the content of the posting, formatted with BBCode
+                                OR
+[*]htmlstatus:the content of the posting, formatted in HTML.
+[/ul]
+
+
+Instead of calling [observer.baseurl]/api/statuses/update which returns a json (you could also add .json on the end to clarify) output, you can use [observer.baseurl]/api/statuses/update.xml to get an xml formatted return.
+
+Instead of Basic HTTP Authentification you could also use oAuth.

+All you need to do now is actually create the pull request.  There are two ways to do this.
+
+The easy way, if you're using Github is to simply click the green button at the top of your own copy of the repository, enter a description of the changes, and click 'create pull request'.  The
+main repository, themes, and addons all have their main branch at Github, so this method can be used most of the time.
+
+Most people can stop here.
+
+Some projects in the extended RedMatrix ecosphere have no Github presence, to pull request these is a bit different - you'll have to create your pull request manually.  Fortunately, this isn't
+much harder.
+
+[code]git request-pull -p <start> <url>[/code]
+
+Start is the name of a commit to start at.  This must exist upstream.  Normally, you just want master.
+
+URL is the URL of [i]your[/i] repo.
+
+One can also specify <end>.  This defaults to HEAD.
+
+Example:
+[code]
+git request-pull master https://example.com/project
+[/code]
+
+And simply send the output to the project maintainer.
+
+Return to the [url=[baseurl]/help/main]Main documentation page[/url]

 Zot is the great new communicaton protocol invented especially for the Red Matrix. As a member you are no longer bound to a single site or hub thanks to "Nomadic Identities". Migrate easily to another server and keep your contacts intact, or clone it and run the same channel on several servers. Just in case one of them might shut down, you don't lose out. Plus once you are inside the Red Matrix there is no need for you to authenticate twice, even when accessing another Red Matrix site. Zot is what sets the Red Matrix apart.
