Push value to DucksBoard in ColdFusion - coldfusion

Question

I going to implement the DucksBoard API. I made my custom counter on Ducksboard now I want to PUSH value. I read the tutorial I just found this line on DUCKSBOARD to push data
curl -v -u YOUR_API_KEY:unused -d '{"value": 10}' https://push.ducksboard.com/values/235
SO i try something like this in my Coldfusion code
<cfset var1 = '{"value":5}'>
<cfhttp url="https://push.ducksboard.com/values/xxxx" method="post" result="httpResp" timeout="60">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#serializeJSON(var1)#">
</cfhttp>
There is less information in the site of Duckboard.Can someone has implemented this.If yes then kindly tell me how to push value and where to use my API key?

Answer 1

I've not used Duckboard but it looks like what you have is correct. The CFHTTP tag takes 2 more parameters, username and password which you can fill in with your username and your API password like so:
<cfset var1 = '{"value":5}'>
<cfhttp url="https://push.ducksboard.com/values/xxxx" method="post"
result="httpResp" timeout="60" username="myusername" password="mypassword"
>
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#serializeJSON(var1)#">
</cfhttp>

Answer 2

I study the API and found the solution You can use this code and change with yours this will work.And don't use serializeJSON in body tag.
<cfset var1 = '{"value":5}'>
<cfhttp url="https://push.ducksboard.com/v/xxxx" method="post" username="API-key" password="x" result="httpResp" >
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value='#var1#'>
</cfhttp>
