Fatebook API

Use the API to create Fatebook questions from a URL

You can use your API key to create Fatebook questions just by going this URL (separated onto multiple lines for readability):

https://fatebook.io/api/v0/createQuestion?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
&title=YOUR_QUESTION_TITLE
&resolveBy=RESOLUTION_DATE_YYYY-MM-DD
&forecast=FORECAST_BETWEEN_0_AND_1

You can also add some optional parameters, here's an example:

https://fatebook.io/api/v0/createQuestion?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
&title=YOUR_QUESTION_TITLE
&resolveBy=RESOLUTION_DATE_YYYY-MM-DD
&forecast=FORECAST_BETWEEN_0_AND_1
&tags=TAG_1
&tags=TAG_2
&sharePublicly=yes
&shareWithLists=LIST_NAME_1
&shareWithLists=LIST_NAME_2
&shareWithEmail=EMAIL_1
&shareWithEmail=EMAIL_2
&hideForecastsUntil=HIDE_FORECASTS_UNTIL_DATE_YYYY-MM-DD

You can use this to integrate Fatebook with other tools, like iOS shortcuts. If you create an integration, let us know and we can tell other Fatebook users about it!

Use the API to get Fatebook questions by ID

You can also use the API to get Fatebook questions by ID, here's an example:

https://fatebook.io/api/v0/getQuestion?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
&questionId=QUESTION_ID

To get the question ID, go to the question page and copy the ID from the URL. The ID is the part after the --, e.g. for this question: https://fatebook.io/q/will-adam-win-the-next-aoe-game---clkqtczp00001l008qcrma6s7 the ID is clkqtczp00001l008qcrma6s7.
