# A Rust API for [Hypothesis](https://web.hypothes.is/)
## Description
A lightweight wrapper and CLI for the [Hypothesis Web API v1.0.0](https://h.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/v1/). It includes all APIKey
authorized endpoints related to
* annotations (create / update / delete / search / fetch / flag),
* groups (create / update / list / fetch / leave / members)
* profile (user information / groups)
## Installation and Usage
### Authorization
You'll need a [Hypothesis](https://hypothes.is) account, and a personal API token obtained as described [here](https://h.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/authorization/).
Set the environment variables `$HYPOTHESIS_NAME` and `$HYPOTHESIS_KEY` to your username and the developer API key respectively.
### As a command-line utility:
```bash
cargo install hypothesis
```
Run `hypothesis --help` to see subcommands and options.
NOTE: the CLI doesn't currently have all the capabilities of the Rust crate, specifically bulk actions and updating dates are not supported.
Generate shell completions:
```bash
hypothesis complete zsh > .oh-my-zsh/completions/_hypothesis
exec zsh
```
### As a Rust crate
Add to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
hypothesis = {version = "0.4.0", default-features = false}
tokio = { version = "0.2", features = ["macros"] }
```
#### Examples
```rust no_run
use hypothesis::Hypothesis;
use hypothesis::annotations::{InputAnnotation, Target, Selector};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), hypothesis::errors::HypothesisError> {
let api = Hypothesis::from_env()?;
let new_annotation = InputAnnotation::builder()
.uri("https://www.example.com")
.text("this is a comment")
.target(Target::builder()
.source("https://www.example.com")
.selector(vec![Selector::new_quote("exact text in website to highlight",
"prefix of text",
"suffix of text")])
.build()?)
.tags(vec!["tag1".to_string(), "tag2".to_string()])
.build()?;
api.create_annotation(&new_annotation).await?;
Ok(())
}
```
See the documentation of the API struct ([`Hypothesis`](https://docs.rs/crate/hypothesis/struct.Hypothesis.html)) for a list of possible queries.
Use bulk functions to perform multiple actions - e.g. `api.fetch_annotations` instead of a loop around `api.fetch_annotation`.
Check the [documentation](https://docs.rs/crate/hypothesis) for more usage examples.
### Changelog
See the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md)
### Contributing
Make sure you have a .env file (added to .gitignore) in the repo root with HYPOTHESIS_NAME, HYPOTHESIS_KEY, and TEST_GROUP_ID
### Caveats / Todo:
- Only supports APIKey authorization and hypothes.is authority (i.e. single users).
- `Target.selector.RangeSelector` doesn't seem to follow [W3C standards](https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/#range-selector). It's just a hashmap for now.
- `Annotation` hypermedia links are stored as a hashmap, b/c I don't know all the possible values.
- Need to figure out how `Document` works to properly document it (hah).
- Can't delete a group after making it, can leave it though (maybe it's the same thing?)
- No idea what `UserProfile.preferences` and `UserProfile.features` mean.
- CLI just dumps output as JSON, this is fine right? Fancier CLIs can build on top of this (or use the crate directly)
