Can I follow the steps here Reverse engineer the Discourse API to consume the adplugin requests to create House Ads GitHub - discourse/discourse-adplugin: Official Discourse Advertising Plugin. Install & Start Serving Ads on Your Discourse Forum

You can make an authenticated API request to /admin/plugins/pluginad/house_creatives.json to get the JSON for all your site’s ads, or a request to /admin/plugins/pluginad/house_creatives/<ad_id>.json to get the JSON for a specific ad.

If this doesn’t answer your question, give us more details about what you are trying to accomplish.

The request api for creating an ad does not work. How can I make an authenticated API request to create an inhouse ad for example ?

Try making a POST request to /admin/plugins/pluginad/house_creatives

You need to set two parameters for the request:

  • name : the name of your ad
  • html : the ad’s HTML You will need to url encode the HTML before using it in the request
