Hi,

I am moderator of the platform hosted by Discourse. I can see Assign button for each topic in the UI. Does that mean assign plugin is enabled? I have my API key and able to performs operations like pull latest topics using curl. I want to assign a topic to a moderator. I would like to know the endpoint for assign plugin. Could you please guide me on how to assign topic using Curl command or python script.
