Hi everyone! Love discourse, it’s the backbone of our community. We are an open source project with a strong presence on Github. We have a robot written in Python which manages our Github repositories and does things like merge pull requests automatically if they have been approved. Since we have a…

Yes I know this is an old post but since it is essentially what I seek no sense it creating a new post when this one works but just needs to be brought up to date. While I do know how to program in many programming languages, sorry to say Ruby is not one. Was wondering if there are newer are better…

Ruby is beautifully designed and a doddle to learn, imho. Ruby on Rails requires a bit more learning and as a framework relying on conventions can be fiddly at times but very powerful once you get the hang of it.

Hi everyone, I’m also interested in getting data from discourse (mainly stats about views and nb of users) from python. A lot of the packagse listed here don’t seem to be active anymore. Is there a new standard way of doing this in 2026? Thanks!
