Have a look at [How to reverse engineer the Discourse API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-reverse-engineer-the-discourse-api/20576) if you want to do it with the API. If you want to do it in a plugin then you’d need to look at [Beginner’s Guide to Creating Discourse Plugins Part 1: Creating a basic plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-creating-discourse-plugins-part-1-creating-a-basic-plugin/30515)
