## Features
pyldn is a lightweight receiver for LDN. This means you can set up an inbox to receive notifications as Linked Data in seconds!

## Install


git clone https://github.com/albertmeronyo/pyldn
cd pyldn
virtualenv .
source bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

## Usage


python pyldn.py

Then, from a client you can discover an inbox


curl -I -X GET http://pyldn.amp.ops.labs.vu.nl/

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Link: <http://pyldn.amp.ops.labs.vu.nl:8088/inbox/>;

You can request a list of the notification URLs it contains:


curl -X GET -H'Accept: text/turtle' http://pyldn.amp.ops.labs.vu.nl/inbox/

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

You can even post new notifications to this inbox! You'll get the URL for your notification in the response headers:


curl -i -X POST -d '<foo> <bar> <foobar> .' -H'Content-Type: text/turtle' http://pyldn.amp.ops.labs.vu.nl/inbox/

HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED

curl -i -X GET -H'Accept: text/turtle' http://pyldn.amp.ops.labs.vu.nl/inbox/3

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
