I’d like to change a topic’s time stamp, found this API

> **[Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Topics/operation/updateTopicTimestamp)**

while, it got an error with “Bad CSRF”, could someone give a hint ? thanks

```plaintext
import requests

# incorrect headers
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Apikey {api_key}",
    "User-Agent": api_username
}

# correct
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8", "Api-Key": api_key, "Api-Username": api_username }

# Modify the post date
created_at = "1701417600"
update_data = {"timestamp": created_at}
response = requests.put(f"https://www.mysite.com/t/6532/change-timestamp.json", json=update_data, headers=headers)

print(response.status_code) # 403
print(response.text) # '["BAD CSRF"]'
print(response.json()) # ['BAD CSRF']

```

Those aren’t the right headers:
