<h1 class="mb-3">Draft submission API instructions</h1>
<p>
A simplified draft submission interface, intended for automation,
is available at <code>{% url 'ietf.submit.views.api_submit' %}</code>.
</p>
<p>
The interface accepts only XML uploads that can be processed on the server, and
requires the user to have a datatracker account. A successful submit still requires
the same email confirmation round-trip as submissions done through the regular
<a href="{% url 'ietf.submit.views.upload_submission' %}">submission tool</a>.
</p>
<p>
This interface does not provide all the options which the regular submission tool does.
Some limitations:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Only XML-only uploads are supported, not text or combined.</li>
<li>Document replacement information cannot be supplied.</li>
<li>
The server expects <code>multipart/form-data</code>, supported by <code>curl</code> but <b>not</b> by <code>wget</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
It takes two parameters:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>user</code> which is the user login
</li>
<li>
<code>xml</code>, which is the submitted file
</li>
</ul>
<p>
It returns an appropriate http result code, and a brief explanatory text message.
</p>
<p>
Here is an example:
</p>
<pre class="border p-3">
$ curl -S -F "user=user.name@example.com" -F "xml=@~/draft-user-example.xml" https://datatracker.ietf.org/api/submit
Upload of draft-user-example OK, confirmation requests sent to:
User Name &lt;user.name@example.com&gt;</pre>
