Hi Folks, I´m looking for the best way (or a good documented way / beginner guide) to set up a Bot Updating a Post in Discourse. We want to use a Raspi to Check some Switches and depending on there state we want to update a Post in our Forum. Any good advice welcome. Thx in Advance. Richarde

Ok, I just found pydiscourse and that seems to work pretty good :slight_smile: So the Step setting everything up in Postman wasn´t necessary but helped to understand the logic of the api - so it wasn´t a complete waste of time :slight_smile: in short - if you want to interact with your discourse via python you can use pydiscourse by (Based on original authors list and may be incomplete) Marc Sibson James Potter Ben Lopatin Daniel Zohar Matheus Fernandes Scott Nixon Jason Dorweiler Pierre-Alain Dupont Karl Goetz Alex Kerney Gustav https://github.com/dkgv

Inorder to update a post remotely you have to either configure an email receiver or you may depend on discourse API.

Thx @Pravi Is there any beginners guides to this? Thanks in Advance Edit: while thinking about the possibilities the API brings, I would prefer that solution. Will start to dig now for informations about setting that up… any hints welcome.

You can use this gem to connect to your discourse and perform any operations you need. [image] 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…

I have never used the discourse API before. So I am unable to help you with API. But I hope the following links will help you get started. https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=discourse%20api [image] 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. The only API endpoints that continue to support credentials in query parameters are requests to… https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-run-data-explorer-queries-with-the-discourse-api/120063/2 [image] Reverse engineer the Discourse API Integrations Discourse is backed by a complete JSON api. 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 …

I´m on the way: what I´ve done so far: generating a Api Key writing a few Put and a Get request in Postman which worked perfectly exported the collection as json file I know there is a ruby framework for the API but i would prefer python as a did some scripts there already. Anyone has an idea how to proceed? best regards Richarde
