It’s certainly possible. You can [Reverse engineer the Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reverse-engineer-the-discourse-api/20576) to do anything with the API that you can do in the UX.

If you’ve tried something that didn’t work, you can share your code so that others might make suggestions.
