Aggiorna un post tramite richiesta API PUT

Solo per chiarire, la documentazione API di Discourse menziona una struttura del genere…

{
"post[raw]": "string",
"post[raw_old]": "string",
"post[edit_reason]": "string",
"post[cooked]": "string"
}

Prima di provare, significa questo, o meglio… cosa significa esattamente?

Significa: {post: {raw: ..., raw_old: ... }}

O semplicemente {raw: "", raw_old: ""...}?

E inoltre, cos’è raw_old? Dice solo che ogni elemento è una “stringa” che devo inserire nel corpo JSON con un PUT.

Sto semplicemente cercando di aggiungere una riga all’inizio del post (inizialmente creato da un Bot) dove dobbiamo inserire un link a un altro sito. Nota anche che l’obiettivo è far visualizzare quel primo paragrafo sotto il titolo della Categoria, o nell’elemento cooked

da mostrare (definito subito sotto il titolo della categoria).

Spero abbia senso. Se non è così, chiedimi di chiarire.

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:

Just a question on this, are you referring to different documentation then what is defined at Discourse API Docs ? That would be interesting… however I am only going by the API docs.

My simple goal is to simply add a comment + link below the category name, which I think Discourse takes from the first Post of the "About … " topic? Like I’m just looking for what it will insert into the

… element or what I need to do to make my post appear there. Does my explanation make sense?

From the above, and from attempting, you can not update a post using “cooked” as the API documentation states, it is however possible with “raw”, all attempts I made using “cooked” kept giving me back an error that my post was invalid as it was under 20 characters, or not a clear sentence …

However there are additional issues with “raw” that I will make into another post as this isn’t directly related.

Thanks for all your help.

There is a slight discrepancy in API Docs:

Documentation says: PUT /posts/{id}.json with payload

Content type: application/json

{
  "post[raw]": "string",
  "post[raw_old]": "string",
  "post[edit_reason]": "string",
  "post[cooked]": "string"
}

but this only works with PUT /posts/{id} and Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

The correct payload for PUT /posts/{id}.json should be:

Content type: application/json

{
  "post": {
      "raw": "string",
      "raw_old": "string",
      "edit_reason": "string",
      "cooked": "string"
    }
}

The raw parameter is sufficient for replacing the entire post.

Yes, thanks, I realized this after attempting a few Postman requests and playing around with it… also in my attempts, the “cooked” seemed to do nothing… and I’m still not sure what “raw_old” is.

Questo è stato rimandato oggi ed è assegnato a me. Forse può essere non assegnato :slight_smile:

In ogni caso, la documentazione ora è corretta: Discourse API Docs.
