Discourse API Reports Discussion Summary
jordan1909 is trying to use the Discourse API’s reporting functionality in a Node app on a different server but is getting a 404 error. codinghorror suggests rebuilding the docs site, but blake clarifies that the issue is with the endpoint URL being documented incorrectly.
jordan1909 tries the corrected endpoint but gets a raw dump of the page instead of JSON data. david suggests adding .json to the end of the URL, which resolves the issue initially, but jordan1909 encounters a 404 error again when making external API calls.
david asks if jordan1909 is including an API key in the Postman request. jordan1909 realizes the mistake was a typo in the API key parameter name, using ap_key instead of api_key.
Hello!
I am trying to use the reporting functionality found in the Discourse api via a node app on a different server.
When I issue my requests (whether on the server or in postman) I get a 404 that the url was not found?
Is this function depreceated or still around? Can’t seem to figure it out.
Do we need to rebuild the docs.discourse.org site @blake?
No the doc site is working just fine, but the url for that endpoint may have been documented wrong 
.
@jordan1909 can you try hitting this endpoint on your site?
Looks like you will need to include /admin/reports and all correct params
So this works in my browser but I need to get the JSON data back for usage elsewhere and everytime I issue the query anywhere else I get a raw dump of the page?
Any idea what I’m missing? Issuing a GET request here.
Try adding .json to the end of the URL
I 
you
I had previously marked this as solved however if I execute the request via Postman or in an Ajax query I am getting a 404. Is this available to the api for external calls? Am I missing something?
Does anyone have an example of getting this value via an Ajax request or even Postman?
Are you including an API key in your postman request?
Clearly I have been staring at my screen too long. 
I take it the value is api_key not ap_key.
I’ll go hide in the corner and think about what I’ve done.
