How do I feed List widget using json?

[Gmerold]

Hi,

I'd like to feed list widget using json sent via curl. The problem is that I can't figure out how my data should look like. Based on what 'Buzzwords' job from examples is sending I tried something like this:
curl -d '{ "auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN", items: [{:label=>"XXXXXX", :value=>"XXXXX"}] }' http://SERVER:3030/widgets/WIDGET_DATA_ID.
Unfortunatelly, what I get is:
2020-06-26 15:34:31 - JSON::ParserError - 765: unexpected token at '{ "auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN", items: [{:label=>"XXXXXX", :value=>"XXXXXXX"}] }':
Any help highly appreciated.

BR,
Bartek

Hi @Gmerold !

For questions like this, it's easier to use our Gitter chat:

I realized we didn't have any docs on how to post data to widgets (none that I could find at least). So I wrote this one: https://github.com/Smashing/smashing/wiki/How-to:-post-data-to-your-dashboard-and-widgets

Feel free to send feedback via gitter, or edit the page as necessary. I still need to add a bit more about the events sent to dashboards, but that should hopefully help you to update the widget with JSON.

Cheers
