REST API Python Scripting - Much overlap with Discourse-specific concepts

Hello,

I’m looking for an avid Python developer to support my efforts to duplicate complex topics from my Personal to my University-wide Discourse forum.

So far, i have attempted using Generative AI to migrate replies via REST API, rather than whole topics, the caveats have been:

  • either images or attachments work, but not both
  • where posts were split-off, the link doesn’t work
  • the script completes successfully, not detecting all source posts.

this was using Anaconda Spyder’s IDE with both latest Discourse production releases.

I have tried to convince AI of the following

had a script that involved a class called LightboxImageParser. I’m now trying to create a python script that will run in Anaconda Spyder’s IDE, to migrate posts in a topic from one Discourse forum to another. I’m wondering if the object-oriented approach i mention is at all related to spreadsheets and images never working simultaneously on the target forum

The time-sensitive reason for this is that in 3 weeks me and my partner in Labs have a presentation, and i should ensure that my lab partner can continue using his University SSO-gated Discourse account.


I haven’t had any agreement from the University to pay for such an endeavour, so i would have to see this as part of my personal investment for increasing the adoption of Discourse across University.
