How do you want to make the request?

Here’s a working example with Postman:

  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.
