I have some posts that include the TITLE as well as the body. I want to write a script to post this data in bulk on my discourse. Which api of Discourse should I call?

By the way, I noticed that there are some columns in the post database that are different from raw text, such as “search” (which is supposed to be used as a query index), so directly inserting the post content into the database shouldn’t work.

Thanks!!

Hi 👋

If you want to create new topics, I’d use [https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Topics/operation/createTopicPostPM](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Topics/operation/createTopicPostPM), and set a short time limit between each request to prevent reaching the rate limit.

I think you could also use a rails script and use [discourse/lib/topic\_creator.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/topic_creator.rb). You can have a look at the importer scripts to see how it’s used:

> **[discourse/script/import\_scripts at main · discourse/discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/main/script/import_scripts)**
>
> main/script/import\_scripts

If you don’t have tons of topics, I think a quick script using the API would be the easiest way.

The best documentation for the API is usually [Reverse engineer the Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reverse-engineer-the-discourse-api/20576).

If you want to create hundreds of posts I recommend using/writing an import script.
