Hi everyone! Love discourse, it’s the backbone of our community. We are an open source project with a strong presence on Github. We have a robot written in Python which manages our Github repositories and does things like merge pull requests automatically if they have been approved. Since we have a…

I’m suddenly seeing this error too over the weekend when attempting to fetch a topic. This topic fetch code hasn’t changed in over a year, so something about the API must have changed. I’m investigating.

Payload Too Large is because of this change . I don’t know about the project mentioned above, but here is the status for bennylope’s project. Maybe the same fix is needed on other wrappers as well. GitHub - pydiscourse/pydiscourse: A Python library for the Discourse API issue #38 fixes the problem,…

Thanks! This worked. I uninstalled pydiscourse, and used a local copy based on what you suggested. And now, it works! I am trying to use Python’s Sentiment analyzer to get a sentiment analysis of the latest posts. I will keep you updated on how it goes.

Is anybody else using this? Are you able to get more than 20 posts per topic using this?

[image] Gandharv_Bakshi: Are you able to get more than 20 posts per topic You probably need to use pagination. I haven’t tried this for posts specifically, but something like: pagesize = 20 for page in range(100): client.posts(topic_id, limit=pagesize, offset=page*pagesize)

Yes I know this is an old post but since it is essentially what I seek no sense it creating a new post when this one works but just needs to be brought up to date. While I do know how to program in many programming languages, sorry to say Ruby is not one. Was wondering if there are newer are better…

[image] EricGT: As a side question, can Discourse Plugins and/or themes be created using Python? Themes, definitely not, that’s only Javascript, CSS & HTML. Plugins: Kind of. You can import Python modules into a Ruby (on Rails) based Discourse plugin and call Python functions using Pycall:…

I wrote several import scripts before I really “learned” ruby. Depending on what you want to do you might be able to do more with your current skill set than you think. It’s likely easier to use ruby than figure out how to use something else. If you’re interacting with the API, though, then you can…

Ruby is beautifully designed and a doddle to learn, imho. Ruby on Rails requires a bit more learning and as a framework relying on conventions can be fiddly at times but very powerful once you get the hang of it.

Ce que je ferais, c’est utiliser le plugin Data Explorer pour obtenir ce que vous voulez, puis vous pouvez le récupérer avec l’API. Exécuter des requêtes Data Explorer avec l’API Discourse
