I am receiving the following error: DiscourseApi::UnauthenticatedError: {"errors"=>["You are not permitted to view the requested resource."], "error_type"=>"invalid_access"} when I make the ruby API call ‘category_latest_topics’ response = client.category_latest_topics(" ") This is due to the category permissions (the category is not public). I tried to authenticate by using client.api_username = "system" and making sure “system” is a member of the group that has permissions to the category but still no luck! Any suggestions or workarounds?

No response so far. Am I posting this in the right forum?

Try using a different user, other than System. Issue an API key for a different user. You will need to experiment.

Would be awesome if anyone else has suggestions for this? How can I access a private category via the API. This should not be an issue for users/system with admin rights to the forum.

Have you attempted to generate a key from your account? You are the admin who created the forum, yes? You say “users/system” so I am wondering if you tried your own account.

Yes i am the admin of my forum. I have tried both my username and system with no luck. I can’t call client.category_latest_topics( ) even though the user has permissions to the category

I feel some other variable exists and is causing this error; one that cannot be seen due to the limited info provided. Be sure to check these topics in regards to setting up and using the Discourse API, if you have not yet done so. [תמונה] Use the Discourse API ruby gem Integrations So you want to use Discourse API? Great! Let’s get started. Set up Discourse development environment Set up Discourse development environment using our Windows, macOS or Ubuntu guide. Clone Discourse API Gem Now that you have set up Discourse development environment, you should already have Git and Ruby installed on your system. You can install Discourse API gem by running following command from console: git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api.git ~/discourse_api Alternatively… [תמונה] Discourse REST API Documentation Integrations Discourse API Please view the Discourse API Documentation site for detailed info: https://docs.discourse.org information_source Authentication API requests must use HTTP header based authentication. Pass your Api-Key and Api-Username as HTTP headers. Authentication via query parameters or request body is not supported (this was removed in April 2020). Please see the example cURL request below.

Anything you can do on the site you can also do using the JSON api. The API is documented at docs.discourse.org. You can also use the discourse_api Ruby gem as a client library. However, not every endpoint is documented. To determine how to do something with the JSON API here are some steps you can follow. Example: recategorize a topic. Go to a topic and start editing a category: [image] Open Chrome dev tools, switch to the Network tab, select …

Appreciate your help. If you read my original post i am using the ruby api. I have also looked through the documentation before posting this topic. If you could show me what variable i am missing or where to exactly to find out more i would appreciate it.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem at the moment? I’ve been trying for two days to use the API, but I get similar errors every time. I’m not sure if I’m missing a step or if something changed. I created a new API key for the system user. I also tried creating an API key for all users and then using my admin account. Using the discourse_api Ruby gem: DiscourseApi::UnauthenticatedError ({"errors"=>["You are not permitted to view the requested resource. The API username or key is invalid."], "error_type"=>"invalid_access"}) I also tried with this code from another post: require 'net/http' require 'uri' INSTANCE_URL = 'https://forum.example.com/admin/users/list/all.json?email=user@example.com' API_USERNAME = 'system' API_KEY = 'a_new_api_key_here' def send_request url = URI.parse(INSTANCE_URL) request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path) request.set_form_data({'api_username' => API_USERNAME, 'api_key' => API_KEY}) http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) response = http.request(request) if response.code == '200' puts "Success!" else puts "Error" puts response.code end end send_request # 400 I also tried using the API by putting the api_username and api_key in form data along with a raw request, but I get a 404 error. I’m trying to write a script that reads in a list of email addresses, gets the usernames, and then unsubscribes them from all Discourse emails.
