So I made the switch to use discourse as my main site. I face one obstacle though. I have a few python scripts that I would like to tie to the restful API. I know discourse uses Ruby and I can easily convert my scripts to ruby if need be. How would I go about using the discourse API to expose my scripts to be called by my users?

What are these scripts? What do they do?

It’s for a trivia game. Basically you send an http GET request with a date and it returns a list of celebrities names that all share the same birthday. These are all stored in a database and returned in json format.

This request makes me think of discobot. You can summon the bot to roll a specified number of dice or to fetch a quotation from an online quote service (results returned in JSON) that then gets formatted for the page.

Making an interface like that for your celebrity birthday game might be as easy as picking through the bot code to make your own birthday bot plugin.
