Hello,

Can somebody tell me how to create post with ruby api?

It seems that there is only create topic api in discourse\_api gem ([GitHub - discourse/discourse\_api: Ruby API for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api)).

Check out the source code:  
[discourse\_api/lib/discourse\_api/api/posts.rb at main · discourse/discourse\_api · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api/blob/master/lib/discourse_api/api/posts.rb)

I’d assume `create_post` is what you’re looking for, but I’m not a Ruby expert.

Thanks, it just works!

Better if I can get the latest inserted topic\_id when I call create\_topic method. I’ll have a try!
