## Usage

### 1. Start the server

#### Start without docker
```shell
go run ./cmd/server/main.go
```

#### Change API address
```shell
API_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:3001 go run ./cmd/server/main.go
```

#### Start in docker

```shell
docker compose up -d webarchive
```

### 2. Add a page

```shell
curl -X POST --location "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{
          \"url\": \"https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/1937\",
          \"formats\": [
            \"pdf\",
            \"headers\"
          ]
        }" | jq .
```

or

```shell
curl -X POST --location \
  "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fwkhtmltopdf%2Fwkhtmltopdf%2Fissues%2F1937&formats=pdf%2Cheaders&description=Foo+Bar"
```

### 3. Get the page's info

```shell
curl -X GET --location "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages/$page_id" | jq .
```
where `$page_id` — value of the `id` field from previous command response.
If `status` field in response is `success` (or `with_errors`) - the `results` field
will contain all processed formats with ids of the stored files.

### 4. Open file in browser

```shell
xdg-open "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages/$page_id/file/$file_id"
```
Where  `$page_id` — value of the `id` field from previous command response, and
`$file_id` — the id of interesting file.

### 5. List all stored pages

```shell
curl -X GET --location "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages" | jq .
```
