Continuing the discussion from Discourse API Documentation : [画像] Discourse REST API Documentation To become authenticated you will need to create an API Key from the admin panel. Once you have your API Key you can pass it in as a url parameter like this: curl http://localhost:3000/c/test/sub-t…

I don’t believe there is support to put the parameters in the header, but you can put them in the body of the request and not as part of the url.

Using POST where I mean GET might work, but it’s icky at best. Arguably it’s a bug if POST is accepted in most contexts where GET is what’s meant, and I would be wary about assuming that wouldn’t become the case if it’s not now. I wonder if there’s an OAuth based approach to be had?

I don’t mind adding support for HTTP headers used for auth like S3 does, etc … submit a PR

Hi there, Is there any news related to putting the API Key inside an Authorization header instead using a query parameter ?

The Discourse API now supports, and recommends passing the authentication details in the request’s HTTP headers. See the updated Discourse REST API Documentation topic and the Authentication section of https://docs.discourse.org/ for details.
