This should be what you are looking for:

discourse/discourse_api/blob/cd7742b9cfc4da2e897004fe328b7e562eac6a46/examples/change_topic_status.rb#L23-L33


      
          # status can be: ['autoclose', 'closed', 'archived', 'disabled', 'visible']
          # enabled can be: [true, false]
          ##
          
          # lock topic (note: api_username determines user that is performing action)
          params = {status: 'closed', enabled: true, api_username: "YOUR USERNAME/USERS USERNAME"}
          client.change_topic_status(topic_slug, topic_id, params)
          
          # unlock topic (note: api_username determines user that is performing action)
          params = {status: 'closed', enabled: false, api_username: "YOUR USERNAME/USERS USERNAME"}
          client.change_topic_status(topic_slug, topic_id, params)

Edit: I read your post too quickly, you were looking for a rails console option. here’s an example you should be able to build off of:
