Problems when creating new notes in Simplenote using Simperium

Question

I'm creating an Open Source C# client for Simplenote using Simperium API. Almost everything is ready, but I am facing problems when creating a new note.

How I can create a new note in Simplenote using Simperium API?

Once you have the app id and API key you can create new notes just like creating any Simperium object as referenced in the documentation.

The bucket to post to is note and it'll also need to conform to the schema in the following sample note:

{
    "tags" : [ "todo", "later" ],
    "systemTags" : [],
    "creationDate" : 1335390338.091436,
    "modificationDate" : 1335390338.091436,
    "deleted" : false,
    "shareURL" : "",
    "publishURL" : "",
    "content" : "new note content!"
}

All fields are needed when creating, but you can just specify the fields that have changed when updating.

Thanks for the bit about `note` being the bucket. I hadn't been able to find that out anywhere else. – atomicules Mar 04 '14 at 22:54
One thing I'm not clear on: is there anyway to have Simperium/Simplenote generate the object id for you like you could under the old Simplenote API? – atomicules Mar 04 '14 at 23:38
I guess you have to create your own now? Based on the Python library and how it uses `uuid.uuid4().hex` – atomicules Mar 04 '14 at 23:51

Correct, you have to generate your own – ecksor Mar 06 '14 at 21:43
