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…

I wrote several import scripts before I really “learned” ruby. Depending on what you want to do you might be able to do more with your current skill set than you think. It’s likely easier to use ruby than figure out how to use something else. If you’re interacting with the API, though, then you can…

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.

[imagem] EricGT: Care to suggest a simpler one? You can have a look at GitHub - discourse/all-the-plugins · GitHub as a way to look around at what’s possible. Choose something that you want to do that seems simple. If you want something like cakeday that changes the definition of an anniver…

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!

[imagem] remidm: I’m also interested in getting data from discourse You don’t always need to use someone else’s interface. It’s not too troublesome to do this via the builtin requests library, and if you use something (e.g. Postman, which I already have set up) you can import our API specifi…

Thank you so much! Yes I’ll do this! I’m specifically looking for pageviews (logged in users, anonymous users, crawlers) but I can’t find it in the API documentation. Any pointers?

Some of the admin-specific calls aren’t in the API docs I would open the network tab, go to the admin page, view the report with the data you want to retrieve, and then check the network tab to see what the browser loaded. Which is really a summary of Reverse engineer the Discourse API

What I would do is use the data explorer plugin to get whatever you want and then you can pull that down with the API. Run Data Explorer queries with the Discourse API

Absolutely; if you want data differing from what’s already on offer in the admin panel, DE is the way to go. It also gives the guarantee those queries won’t return different data after an update, BUT also the underlying structures may change and you may need to maintain the query. Tradeoffs either…

O que eu faria é usar o plugin Data Explorer para obter o que você quiser e então você pode baixar isso com a API. Executar consultas do Data Explorer com a API do Discourse
