Sending POST requests to the Target Server

If you wish to send POST data with your request, such as when submitting a form, please use the following syntax:

cURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <credential string>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "url": "https://www.example.com",
    "method": "POST",
    "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Some-Extra-Header": "some-extra-header"
    },
    "body": {
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2
    }
}'

Python

import requests

url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Basic <credential string>',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
    "url": "https://www.example.com",
    "method": "POST",
    "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Some-Extra-Header": "some-extra-header"
    },
    "body": {
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2
    }
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

Node.js

const axios = require('axios');

const url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web';
const headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Basic <credential string>',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
const data = {
  "url": "https://www.example.com",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Some-Extra-Header": "some-extra-header"
  },
  "body": {
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2
  }
};

axios.post(url, data, { headers })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

Go

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/base64"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"encoding/json"
)

func main() {
	url := "https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web"
	payload := []byte(`{
		"url": "https://www.example.com",
		"method": "POST",
		"headers": {
			"Content-Type": "application/json",
			"Some-Extra-Header": "some-extra-header"
		},
		"body": {
			"a": 1,
			"b": 2
		}
	}`)
	headers := map[string]string{
		"Authorization":  "Basic <credential string>",
		"Content-Type":   "application/json",
	}

	req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, bytes.NewBuffer(payload))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	for key, value := range headers {
		req.Header.Set(key, value)
	}

	client := &http.Client{}
	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)
	// Read the response body if needed
	// body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	// fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Please note that specifying a content-type header is required when submitting a POST request with data in the body.
