# catchlog

> catchlog is a public web service from rowb.app. It is a fishing catch logbook: write an
> entry (date, species, place, and optionally length, weight, method, weather, water
> temperature), read the entries back, and get a tally of what is in the book.

Service URL: https://catchlog.rowb.app/

## Write an entry (no key needed for the first 3 per day)
    curl -X POST https://catchlog.rowb.app/api/catches \
      -H 'content-type: application/json' \
      -d '{"caught_on":"2026-10-03","species":"sea bass","place":"north jetty","length_cm":42}'

## Read it back
- GET https://catchlog.rowb.app/api/catches?limit=20   (your entries, newest first)
- GET https://catchlog.rowb.app/api/summary            (totals, longest, heaviest, per species, per place, per month)
- GET https://catchlog.rowb.app/api/book.svg           (one A4 page, 794x1123)

## Limits
- anonymous: 3 entries/day per device, no key.
- free key (email only, no card): 50 entries/month — https://catchlog.rowb.app/signup
- Entry $5/month: 1000 entries/month. Starter $9/month: 5000 entries/month. https://catchlog.rowb.app/pricing

## How the numbers are produced
Every figure in /api/summary and on the A4 page is counted directly from the entries
stored in the logbook. Nothing is estimated, and no fishery-wide average is assumed.
Lengths, weights and water temperatures are used exactly as recorded, or reported as
null when they were not recorded.
