I’m trying to change the ownership of posts through the API, but can’t work out how to do it. I tried using PUT to /posts/{id}.json with setting post[username] and post[user_id], but neither of those seemed to work. Anyone know how to do this?

Change ownership through the API?

Do a post request to the URL /t/[TOPIC_ID]/change-owner.json with the form data post_ids[] and username.
