Update a Post, via API PUT: request

I’m not actually sure what raw_old is for at the moment, but you just need to use the raw field and it will replace the entire post. So, in your code you would fetch the post you want to edit, add your line to the top, then update the post using the raw field.

It might be helpful to see how Discourse does it by editing a post live on your site and inspecting the browser calls:

This is also how the discourse_api gem does it:

github.com

discourse/discourse_api/blob/main/lib/discourse_api/api/posts.rb#L30


      
          
          def posts(args = {})
            args = API.params(args).default(before: 0)
            response = get("/posts.json", args)
            response[:body]
          end
          
          def wikify_post(id)
            put("/posts/#{id}/wiki", wiki: true)
          end
          
          def edit_post(id, raw)
            put("/posts/#{id}", post: { raw: raw })
          end
          
          def delete_post(id)
            delete("/posts/#{id}.json")
          end
          
          def destroy_post_action(post_id, post_action_type_id)
            delete("/post_actions/#{post_id}.json", post_action_type_id: post_action_type_id)
