I did a google search and produced this result: [https://www.google.com/search?q=discourse+create+new+topic+api](https://www.google.com/search?q=discourse+create+new+topic+api) Did you take a look at these topics? ---

How do you want to make the request? Here’s a working example with [Postman](https://www.postman.com/): 1. Create a new POST request. 2. In the POST field, write your forum URL, with /posts/ : `https://yourforum.com/posts/` 3. In Headers tab, set two keys: Api-Key and Api-Username. For the values, use the API key you created in your Discourse administration and an administrator account username. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/c/ccfa10a887d29ec0a34f95c54c1db6eed6ec3131.png) 4. In Params tab, set at least these 3 keys: title, raw and category. More info on the [Discourse API doc](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Posts/paths/~1posts.json/post): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/2/624d58440812263b98ac192e713a60851e4f0f2d.png) 5. Click “Send”. The request is successful: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/d/6/d631022ecbbbbcd70dd4de35c5ef5a8037984d42.png) And the topic created: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/f/ff83d46ab0d136c3f3cc872d2777d0ffc0fff3f5.png) ---
