I’m in process of creating a query with data explorer with the APIs. I’m having a hard time finding the actual API call to create a query. There is an endpoint to run the query /admin/plugins/explorer/queries/ /run ; however don’t see to create it. Can anyone help ?

Have you tried to Reverse engineer the Discourse API?

Thanks for sharing the article of Reverse engineer the discourse API ; I’ve gone through it and realised that there should be two separate calls need to be made. First should be, the POST call to /admin/plugins/explorer/queries , which will generate the ID associated with the query. Secondly, the PUT call needs to be made on /admin/plugins/explorer/queries/id to edit the default query. But I’m wondering whether there is a provision to create the query(by making the single API call) directly without knowing the ID. Let me know if that’s possible.

Here is the query which I tried by making POST API call. curl -X POST https://api-discourse-XXXXXXXXXXXXX/admin/plugins/explorer/queries -H “Content-Type: multipart/form-data;” -H “Api-Key: 46811cc32XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” -H “Api-Username: abcdefg2” -F ‘query={“name”:“test1234”, “sql”:“SELECT * FROM topics”}’ However, I’m getting an error as below. {“status”:500,“error”:“Internal Server Error”}% Not sure what could be wrong.

I think the correct way is the following: -F 'query[name]=test1234' -F 'query[sql]=SELECT * FROM topics'

Thanks @Arkshine for the help. It worked..!!

You should be able to make a POST request with the same payload values as PUT.
Did you try?
