Hey!

Is it possible to post as Guest via the write API?

I tried to reply to a topic via:

const bodyParameters = { _uid: 0, content: "It works!" };

But it does not work. Is it possible to post as a Guest and set a username with the request or is it only possible to use the write api with a existing uid?

Looking forward to your answers.

Hi there -- not at present, no... however there's no reason why that can't be developed if you're interested in sponsoring the work. Reach out to us at sales@nodebb.org 🙂

@loopynid here's a better resource: BenchpressJS docs

If you go into the ACP and change the behaviour of teaser to "first", then the API will return data for the original post only.

No ideas? 😞

The link to the source of the plugin is : nodebb-plugin-ns-login

I want to replace the res.json(user); line 103 by the total unread for the user... but i'm not familiar with nodebb code architecture and don't know how to get this value... i hope somebody can help me^^

Thank you.
I did disable the option in the API-write module, and now it's working in a shell terminal when I send the above CURL command.
But when I try to use CURL in HTTPS within my PHP program,
I get this message (401) : A valid login session was not found. Please log in and try again.
I don't understand why I get this message, because :

I'm sending the Master token in the Header by calling the PHP function curl_setopt with the option CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER I try to send the credentials (login/password) by calling the PHP function curl_setopt with the option CURLOPT_USERPWD and login/password.

@pitaj said:

npm install

It works now. Thanks a lot for your help. Would have never figured out by myself:)

Awesome idea with this API btw, i almost gave up because i'm not familiar with nodejs, but when i found this plugin i realised that this is no longer an issue:)

Great work guys

Nodebb: API Extended

Just additional methods for the API.

Install

Install it via ACP or you can install it from NPM:

npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-api

Important note: extended API uses Write API tokens. It means, you should install write-api plugin and configure it.

LInks Plugin API Issues

Created a small plugin, to have access to all groups - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4591/nodebb-plugin-ns-api-ns-api-extended

I will need upload functional in future plugin.
Is there any Upload API already in NodeBB ready for plugins use?
I would like to use ready to use solution, if any, before I will do it myself 😉

@akumbhare It will be available in v0.7.0.

@julianlam is already working on this, see this topic.

@esfandiar Yes, take a look at the write API plugin.

Well, no that doesn't work either as it just shows '{category_id}' in the console with no ID #. Rather interesting.

Hmm... there's always /nickserv identify, but I have absolutely zero idea how that even works.

What if you made your own bot that listened for private messages from users, and verified them? So all I had to do was /yourbot julian hunter2?

Then your bot would probably communicate with a companion plugin on our end to verify users by username/password... There's a possibly MITM issue present if you don't use HTTPS though... less so if everything is on one machine and you're communicating via localhost connections...

We have a system consisting of several server side Node.js components. We would like to integrate NodeBB in our system as the 'forum' server. Our client do not reside in a browser and they use some external protocol such as XMPP to communicate with our backend server.

We would have a server component that translates XMPP and then interface with NodeBB. There are two possibilities, one is to run NodeBB in the same Node.js runtime as our server. And the other is to run NodeBB in a separate Node,js runtime and have the server talk to NodeBB using some wire protocol.

What is the best way to achieve this? We could not find any document regarding any external APIs or protocol that can be used.
Thanks

Shouldn't this request be directed to Taptalk Inc? They seem to charge both the app user and the forum maintainer for "pro" features.

As this is an open source project, they're free to provide a NodeBB taptalk plugin and earn more money 😉
