G’day

I’m looking for some sample ruby code to create a topic with tags, in a category with one boxing of links where possible.

Is there a repository of example ruby code to use with Discourse?

Cheers and thanks!

That looks like the API documentation - is there Ruby documentation?

There is the Discourse API gem see: [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_api: Ruby API for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api)

There is no official Python API/SDK for Discourse. There might be something unofficial out there but I’m not aware.

You might want to take a look at the [collection of import scripts](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/script/import_scripts), they contain pretty clear code on the basics.
