Hello :wave:, I’m making a GitHub action posting to the Discourse forum. I found the post API, however, the document says Discourse users need to create an API Key from the admin panel , even though non-admin users have no admin panel. Here I have several questions: Is the API key designed even f…

Hello @KengoTODA , welcome here! :slight_smile: :wave: User API keys specification will be helpful for what you have described.

Thank you! I’ve checked the ‘API key generation flow’ part. I understood that it’s for web applications that can provide auth_redirect URL. Is there any recommended way for CLI or GitHub Actions?

If this is for a GitHub Action you will probably be better off creating a scoped api key, that only allows the actions you need, but yes you will need to be an admin to create this key.

For CLI programs, if this is necessary, you can launch a local web server and use a http://localhost:XXXXX/callback URL. The app does something similar.

OK I’ll have a try, thanks for your support!

You need to add the domain (and path) to the allowed user api auth redirects site setting. If you’re manually issuing HTTP requests, then discourse://auth_redirect should work.

Thanks, I found the config in the site_settings.yml and understood why my request met 403. The discourse://auth_redirect does not work as expected to me, so I’ll try to ask users to input the encrypted token manually, just like the ruby code .
