墨问笔记发布 (Mowen Note Publisher)

Overview

Publish rich-text notes (text, images, formatting) to 墨问 via its Open API. This skill covers three operations: creating new notes, editing existing notes (API-created only), and modifying note settings (privacy, sharing, expiration). A Python script (scripts/publish_note.py) handles all API calls, image uploads, and NoteAtom construction with zero third-party dependencies.

Prerequisites

• API Key: Obtain from 墨问小程序 → 我的 → 设置 → 开放平台 → 创建 API Key
• Environment: Set MOWEN_API_KEY environment variable, or pass via --api-key argument
• Python 3: Required for running the publish script (macOS has it pre-installed)

Creating a Note (Step by Step)

1. Gather Content from User

Collect the note content. Identify:

• Text paragraphs (plain text or rich text with bold/highlight/links)
• Images (local file paths or URLs)
• Tags (optional, max 10, each ≤ 30 chars)
• Whether to auto-publish (default: draft)
• Privacy setting (default: public)

2. Prepare Input JSON

Build a JSON object following this schema:

{
  "paragraphs": [
    "Plain text paragraph",
    [{"text": "Bold text", "bold": true}, " and normal text"],
    {"type": "heading", "level": 1, "text": "Title"},
    {"type": "image", "src": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"},
    {"type": "image", "src": "/path/to/local/photo.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 720},
    {"type": "blockquote", "text": "A quote"},
    {"type": "bulletList", "items": ["Item 1", "Item 2"]},
    {"type": "orderedList", "items": ["First", "Second"]}
  ],
  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
  "autoPublish": true,
  "privacyType": 1
}

Paragraph types:

Privacy types: public = public, private = self-only, rule = custom rules (with noShare/expireAt)

3. Save Input and Run Script

Save the JSON to a temporary file and execute:

python {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish_note.py --action create --input /tmp/note_input.json

Or pipe directly via stdin:

echo '<json>' | python {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish_note.py --action create

The script outputs a JSON result with noteId on stdout. Save this noteId — it is needed for subsequent edit or settings operations.

4. Report Result

Inform the user of the created note's ID and status (draft vs published).

Editing a Note

⚠️ Limitation: Only notes created via the API can be edited. Notes created in the 墨问 mini-program cannot be edited through this API.

To edit, provide the noteId (from a previous create) and new content:

python {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish_note.py --action edit --note-id <NOTE_ID> --input /tmp/note_edit.json

The input JSON format is identical to creation (the paragraphs field). The entire note content will be replaced.

Modifying Note Settings

To change privacy, sharing, or expiration settings:

# Set to private
python {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish_note.py --action settings --note-id <NOTE_ID> --privacy private

# Set to public
python {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish_note.py --action settings --note-id <NOTE_ID> --privacy public

# Set custom rule: forbid sharing with expiration
python {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish_note.py --action settings --note-id <NOTE_ID> --privacy rule --no-share --expire-at 1735689600

Image Handling

The script automatically handles images found in paragraphs:

• URL images (http:// or https://): Uploaded via remote upload API (< 30MB)
• Local file paths: Uploaded via local upload API (< 50MB, formats: gif/jpeg/jpg/png/webp)
• Existing fileId: Passed through directly (no upload needed)

Image upload is automatic — simply include image entries in the paragraphs array and the script handles the rest. Optionally provide width and height for better rendering.

Rate limiting (1 req/sec) is automatically enforced between API calls.

Common Use Cases

Publish a simple text note

{
  "paragraphs": [
    "今天天气真好，适合出门散步 ☀️"
  ],
  "tags": ["日常", "心情"],
  "autoPublish": true
}

Publish a note with images and formatting

{
  "paragraphs": [
    {"type": "heading", "level": 1, "text": "周末探店记录"},
    "今天去了一家超棒的咖啡店！",
    {"type": "image", "src": "https://example.com/coffee.jpg"},
    [{"text": "拿铁", "bold": true}, "味道超赞，推荐指数 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"],
    {"type": "image", "src": "/Users/me/photos/cake.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080},
    {"type": "blockquote", "text": "生活需要一点甜"},
    {"type": "bulletList", "items": ["环境优雅", "咖啡好喝", "甜品精致"]}
  ],
  "tags": ["探店", "咖啡", "美食"],
  "autoPublish": true
}

Edit a previously created note

# Original creation returned noteId = "note_abc123"
python publish_note.py --action edit --note-id note_abc123 --input updated_content.json

Make a note private

python publish_note.py --action settings --note-id note_abc123 --privacy private
