Detailed instructions on how to use the EmpathyBroker index API Through Post using CURL instructions.

First [Empathy Index API]

Step-by-step guide

  1. To send a new feed to be indexed you must build a POST request to the following URL (replace constants with the values that the EmpathyBroker team has provided to you):

    INDEX_SERVICE_URL/services/jobs/submit/INDEX_TOKEN/FEED_ID

  2. Samples using CURL

    • Text File (default)

      curl -H "Content-Type:text/xml" -d @YOUR_FILE -X POST https://INDEX_SERVICE_URL/services/jobs/submit/INDEX_TOKEN/FEED_ID

      You must include the headers according your contents, for example use:

      • Please note that in @YOUR_FILE the @ denote that is a file, it's mandatory (ex. @my_feed.xml)
      • Content-Type:text/xml -> XML DATA
      • Content-Type:application/json -> JSON DATA
    • INDEX_SERVICE_URL could be:

  • Binary File

    curl -H "Content-Type:application/zip" --data-binary @YOUR_FILE -X POST https://INDEX_SERVICE_URL/services/jobs/submit/INDEX_TOKEN/FEED_ID

    If you use a binary file, like zip or gzip files your must specify a new parameter called --data-binary:

    • Please note that in @YOUR_FILE the @ denote that is a file, it's mandatory (ex. @my_feed.xml)
    • Content-Type:application/zip -> ZIP files
    • Content-Type:application/gzip -> GZIP files


  • Please ask us for other options.
