Post Data

In this tutorial, we will build a very simple ao process that can send POST HTTP request using 0rbit oracle network.

Getting Started with aos

To work with the ao computer, your machine requires a local environment to run the ao process, which aos will provide.

1. Install aos Fire up your terminal and run:

npm i -g https://get_ao.g8way.io

2. Launch aos Next, create your instance of aos:

aos

3. Store the 0rcale processId This will initialize a variable with the processId of the 0rcale.

_0rbit = "WSXUI2JjYUldJ7CKq9wE1MGwXs-ldzlUlHOQszwQe0s"

And voilà! Let's post the data!

Posting Data

1. Start your editor

.editor

2. Create a command to post data.

local json = require("json")
Send({
    Target = _0RBIT,
    Action = "Post-Real-Data",
    Url = "https://arweave.net/graphql",
    Body = json.encode({
        query = [[
            query {
                transactions(
                    owners: ["vh-NTHVvlKZqRxc8LyyTNok65yQ55a_PJ1zWLb9G2JI"]
                ) {
                    edges {
                        node {
                            id
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        ]],
        variables = {}
    })
})

In this command:

• json is a library that is required to encode the data into json format.
• TARGET is the process ID of the ao process user wants to interact with, which in this case is 0rbit's GET ao process.
• Action is the specific tag required by 0rbit to perform the Post request.
• Url is the Http URL where the request will be sent.
• Body is the data that will be sent to the Http URL.

3. Execute the command

This will end your editor and execute the command.

.done

You will receive a new message in a few seconds, including your requested data.

Awesome! You have successfully posted data to the web using the 0rbit oracle network.
