stapibas

********

=================

Linkback receiver

=================

stapibas receives linkbacks (webmentions + pingbacks) for your website

and puts them into a database.

It also sends them as email to a configured address.

Setup

=====

Let your website send out the following HTTP headers::

  X-Pingback: http://stapibas.example.org/xmlrpc.php

  Link: '; rel="webmention"'

In Apache you can do this with the following configuration::

  Header set X-Pingback "http://stapibas.example.org/xmlrpc.php"

  Header append Link '; rel="webmention"'

Now, whitelist your domain in the database:

Add an ``lt_url`` of ``https://example.org/%`` in the ``linkbacktargets`` table.

That's all.

.. note::

   stapibas does not display the linkbacks in any way - you have to do this yourself.

   If you're looking for a ready-made solution, look at the tools listed

   on https://indieweb.org/Webmention

===============

Linkback sender

===============

stapibas is able to send linkbacks out to other websites at behalf of

your website.

It does this by watching your website's Atom (or RSS) feed.

Whenever it changes, it fetches the articles that are new or got updated and

sends out pingbacks to the remote websites.

It only works on links that are inside an ``e-content`` section

that itself has to be inside a `h-entry`__.

Setup

=====

Add your feed URL::

  $ ./bin/stapibas feed add http://example.org/feed.atom

Whenever you update your website, tell stapibas about it via a

HTTP POST request, sending the feed URL::

  $ curl -d url=http://example.org/feed.atom http://stapibas.example.org/request-feed-update.php

This tells stapibas to check this feed the next time the pinger runs.

.. note::

   stapibas does not check itself if the feed changed!

   You need to notify it manually.

Run the pinger

==============

Run stapibas every 5 minutes or every hour to check for feed updates,

extract new URLs from the feed and send pingbacks to them.

::

   $ php bin/stapibas
