Overview

This guide walks you through building your SlowNet page from scratch — including setting up your bio, avatar, location, mood, and adding profile blocks.

​
Prerequisites

  • Your API key (X-API-KEY) from the dashboard.

​
Step 1: Set your bio, avatar, mood, and location

Here’s a sample JSON payload for /api/slownetsite/update-site-configuration: 
{
  "bio": "Hey there, welcome to my SlowNet page!",
  "avatar_url": "https://theslow.net/storage/avatars/me.png",
  "location": "Calgary",
  "mood": "🌿",
  "theme_id": "2"
}

​
Step 2: Add content blocks

Blocks let you add text, links, or other content. Example: 
"blocks": [
  { "type": "text", "content": "Welcome to my SlowNet page!", "enabled": true },
  { "type": "link", "content": "https://github.com/myprofile", "enabled": true }
]
You can include these in the same update request.
