Public Chat API

We have created a public chat application you can visit in your browser.

To chat on this chat application users need to make a HTTP post request.

Use HTTPoison.post/3 to send a message to the chat API.

The HTTP POST body should be a JSON string with a “body” field. i.e. "{\"body\": \"hello!\"}". The HTTP POST headers should include the Content-Type field to specify that the data being sent is JSON.

Ensure that your message appears on the chat application.

HTTPoison.post("http://localhost:4000", "{\"body\": \"hello!\"}", [
  {"Content-Type", "application/json"}
])
