I want a way to make groups of badges: bronze → submitted with certain tag silver → submitted tag, liked by me gold → submitted tag, liked by me and 3 other people I need to make a bunch of them and it’s tedious doing it from the web interface. One day I’ll write a plugin, but until then, I thought I’d do a quick Python script. I had given up, as it fails with urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 422: Unprocessable Entity but when I glanced again at the badges admin page, I found that my badge had indeed been created. I guess maybe I don’t care, as it does work, but any ideas on why I get this error? I added a bunch of headers thinking that might somehow help. It didn’t seem to (but they don’t seem to have hurt, either). Code #!/usr/bin/python3 from urllib.request import Request, urlopen from urllib.error import URLError import urllib.parse API_USERNAME = 'pfaffman' API_KEY = 'KEY' BADGE = 'API BADGE2.2' url = 'https://literatecomputing.com/admin/badges' values = {'allow_title' : 'true', 'multiple_grant' : 'true', 'listable' : 'true', 'auto_revoke' : 'false', 'enabled' : 'false', 'show_posts' : 'true', 'target_posts' : 'true', 'icon' : 'fa-certificate', 'image' : '', 'name' : BADGE, 'description' : 'testing 1, 2, 3', 'query' : """SELECT p.user_id, min(p.created_at) granted_at, MIN(p.id) post_id FROM badge_posts p JOIN topics t ON t.id = p.topic_id JOIN topic_custom_fields tcf on t.id = tcf.topic_id JOIN post_actions pa ON pa.post_id = p.id AND post_action_type_id = ( SELECT id FROM post_action_types WHERE name_key = 'like' ) AND pa.user_id IN ( SELECT gu.user_id FROM group_users gu WHERE gu.group_id = ( SELECT id FROM groups WHERE name ilike 'Leader' ) ) WHERE category_id = ANY ( SELECT id FROM categories WHERE name ilike '%completions%' ) AND p.post_number = 1 AND p.like_count > 0 AND tcf.name LIKE 'tags' and tcf.value LIKE '%wordpress-basics%' and (:backfill OR ( p.id IN (:post_ids) )) GROUP BY p.user_id """, 'badge_grouping_id' : '7', 'trigger' : '2', 'badge_type_id' : '1', 'api_username' : API_USERNAME, 'api_key' : API_KEY } headers = {'content-type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8', 'x-requested-with' : 'XMLHttpRequest', 'referer' :'https://literatecomputing.com/admin/badges/new', 'origin' : 'https://literatecomputing.com', 'user-agent' : 'discourseBadgeCreator', 'referer' : 'https://literatecomputing.com/admin/badges/new', 'content-type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'} data = urllib.parse.urlencode(values) data = data.encode('ascii') req = urllib.request.Request(url, data, headers) print("\n\nvalues: ", data) try: urllib.request.urlopen(req) except URLError as e: print ("\n\n--------------------YO!--------------------\n\n" , e.reason) print ("\n\nHeaders:\n\n ", e.headers) with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response: if response.code == '200': print ("It worked!") else: print ("Darn.")

Creating badge via API query works, but returns 422

You get this error if you try to create a badge that has a name that already exists.
