Veery testing

todo:
 - logout
 - delete a post
 - undelete a post
 - show list of deleted posts
 - conduct tag search

(add to couchdb the ability to generate a list of tag names and their counts, if possible. two display options would be nice: by tag name and count. like with Grebe and Junco. need the couchdb equivalent to count(*) and group_by in SQL.)



Read a Single Post
==================

Grab my profile page. Currently, the default is to return HTML only.
  curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/posts/profile

This produces the same thing.
  curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/posts/profile/?text=html

{
  "status":200,
  "description":"OK",
  "post": 
    {
      "author":"MrX",
      "reading_time":0,
      "created_at":"2015/02/11 14:54:49",
      "updated_at":"2015/04/21 15:56:10",
      "slug":"profile",
      "post_type":"article",
      "title":"Profile",
      "word_count":16,
      "html":"<a name=\"Profile\"></a>\n<h1 class=\"headingtext\"><a href=\"/profile\">Profile</a></h1>\n\n<p>my profile page that contains nothing because i want to blend into the background.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/2614312687_3fe4cae2a9_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n"
    }
}


Get the markup. The _rev is returned for updating. Should this be returned, however, only if the client calling app is logged in?
  curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/posts/profile/?text=markup

{
  "status":200,
  "description":"OK",
  "post":
    {
      "_rev":"3-97b3bc9434ea346a49b7709c6dd1e9fd",
      "title":"Profile",
      "slug":"profile",
      "post_type":"article",
      "markup":"# Profile\r\n\r\nmy profile page that contains nothing because i want to blend into the background.\r\n\r\n![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/2614312687_3fe4cae2a9_o.jpg)"
    }
}



Get the markup and the HTML.
  curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/posts/profile/?text=full

{
  "status":200,
  "description":"OK",
  "post":
    {

    }
}

Stream of posts from a search request
=====================================

 ** Currently, searches are done with GET requests. Should add or change this to POST requests?

Search on "beer"
curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/searches/string/beer

Search on "craft beer"
curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/searches/string/craft%20beer


 ** Elasticsearch notes: it seems that when entering a text string surrounded by double quotes, then an exact string match is conducted by Elasticsearch. When a plus sign separates words, then it seems than an OR Boolean search is conducted.


 ** will eventually support tag search
    curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/searches/tag/beer

    OR

    curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/tags/beer


Returned JSON for search on "beer" :

Three "doc" types. If this was SQL, these would be three separate tables.
