  -H "Api-Key: swordfish" \
  -H "Api-Username: michael" \

  • validate the API key
    does Discourse show a valid user authentication (x-discourse-username) when making a simple GET with that key?
  • validate the user ID
    it really exists, right? it’ll 404 if it doesn’t
  • are you behind Cloudflare?
    it can mess with parameters
