I’m running a self-hosted Discourse instance running on pretty basic Docker installation. The forum runs on a subdomain of my main site and it uses main site as SSO host. I’d like to encourage traffic between the main site and forum by showing some kind of unread forum notifications/topics number fo…

I’m happy to help in writing one if I can be of any assistance :slight_smile:

[imagen] codinghorror: I do think we should offer a clean howto on this A clean howto on how to use those api endpoints? or how to use cookie/session to make authenticated JavaScript CORS requests (doable, but way more involved)?

[imagen] Uninen: Let me know if I gan help in writing the documentation or some other way. Of course, please do! We love help from the community :slight_smile:.

[imagen] Uninen: how does one fetch the necessary data (using the api? which endpoints? what kind of api key / authentication we need?) Using the API. The endpoint https://example.com/notifications?username=Falco which can be discovered using Reverse engineer the Discourse API and navigating…

[imagen] blake: I’ll look into this. I don’t think there is an api endpoint for this Okay there doesn’t appear to be an API endpoint for getting the unread or new topic counts for a user. It would be possible to write a plugin that creates a new endpoint that provides those stats. Those count…

I updated the api docs for the /notifications endpoint and started a howto for this that we can build upon:
