I get the impression that this approach might violate the [terms of service](https://meta.discourse.org/tos#heading--acceptable-use) for this forum and the default terms of service for Discourse forums.

> You may not automate access to the forum, or monitor the forum, such as with a web crawler, browser plug-in or add-on, or other computer program that is not a web browser. You may crawl the forum to index it for a publicly available search engine, if you run one.
