  • writerKey - public key of the writer program.
  • visible - boolean set by the writer program to determine if end users should see this story. Setting this to false allows a developer to use a program for purely internal storage.
  • systemVerified - boolean set by Solstory org for programs that have gone external verification, which mostly just ensures that spammers and impersonators cannot abuse the network. (See FAQ #3 for our thoughts on centralization here)
  • apiVersion - int representing api versions, currently set to 1.
  • label - text how display programs should label this program, basically a title.
  • description - text description of the program, used for display.
  • url - text (url) link to the program's homepage/twitter/etc.
  • logo - text (url) link to the logo of the project, should be a standard web image format
  • cdn - text (url) if this program hosts its own cdn, this is a link to to it's root url
  • baseUrl - text (url) if this program uses url hosting for some or all of its item, this should be the base url.
  • metadata - text (json) optional metadata. display programs can display this but it's intended to be largely internal
  • metadata_extended - boolean if true there's a pda with extended metadata available
