My Status

Simple script to store and update a personal status. The current status can be publicly accessed and referenced elsewhere.

The status can only be updated with a valid secret key. The current status is stored in a simple json file.

Setup

Make sure the config file contains a good key, that the key is usable in a GET request and that the specified storage file is writable.

The storage file is created if it does not exist. Since the storage file does not contain any sensitive information, it can be made publicly accessible. At least it contains nothing that is not already available over the status itself.

Usage

Get status

Simple GET request to the index.php.

The status is returned as a json object. Some information is dynamically updated. Durations are usually given in seconds and timestamps as UNIX timestamps in seconds.

Update status

For simplicity, this also consists of a simple GET request. The secret key must be passed as a GET parameter and is the only required parameter. All additional parameters are optional. They can and should be used to specify the status to your liking.

Here is an overview:

Parameter	Description	Example
title	The title of the status.	title=Working
description	A description of the status.	description=Making progress on personal projects.
duration	The expected duration of the status in seconds.	duration=3600
available	Whether you are available to other people.	available=0
working	Whether you are working, as opposed to having some personal time.	working=1
