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.
