The NoteHub API can only be used in combination with a __Publisher ID__ (PID) and __Publisher Secret Key__ (PSK), which can be issued [here](http://notehub.org/api/register). The PSK can be revoked at any moment in case of an API abuse.
A PID is a string is chosen by the publisher and cannot be longer than 16 characters (e.g.: __notepadPlugin__). A PSK will be generated by the NoteHub API and is a string of hex characters of length 32. (e.g.: ...)
A PID is a string chosen by the publisher and cannot be longer than 16 characters (e.g.: __notepadPlugin__). A PSK will be generated by the NoteHub API and can be a string of any length and content.

## Note Retrieval
A simple `GET` request to the following URL:
http://notehub.org/api/get-note?v=1.0&title=<NOTE-ID>
http://notehub.org/api/get-note?version=1.0&title=<NOTE-ID>
will return a JSON object containing following self explaining fields: `noteID`, `note`, `longURL`, `shortURL`, `statistics`, `status`.

Hence, the status of the request can be evaluated by reading of the property `status.success`. The field `status.comment`might contain an error message, a warning or some comments from the server.

The note ID is a string, containing the date of publishing and a few first words of the note (usually the header), e.g.: `"2014/1/3/lorem-ipsum"`.
The note ID is a string, containing the date of publishing and a few first words of the note (usually the header), e.g.: `2014/1/3/lorem-ipsum`. This ID will be generated by NoteHub automatically.
## Note Creation
A note must be created by a `POST` request to the following URL:
