How to access /admin urls with read-api?

TLINDEN last edited by
I installed the write-api plugin, created a master token and I am able to access the usual suspects such as /api/users or /api/topics via the read-api.

However, I cannot access backend url's:
```
% curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" "https://www.foo.bar/api/admin/manage/privileges/?_uid=1"
"not-authorized"
```
If I access this url via chrome (once logged in into the admin backend), I get JSON output as expected.

Is this unsupported or am I doing something wrong?

best,
Tom

@a_5mith Sweet, I kind of had that aching feeling, so I'll spare the extra work for now and wait for the release. I'll keep an eye out for the transfix update as well, is it supposed to collide (transifex update) with the release? I'd think the first might come a bit before the second, if only for giving translators the time to write something up before the release (unless you guys cook up the baseline translations yourself internally first). Oh well, anyway, thanks for the update !

@Helix -- every route in NodeBB has a read-only API accessible by prepending the route with /api. If you want to POST to NodeBB, you'll want to look at the write API, which has its own documentation

<?php class nodebb { function category_add ($params='name=Default category name', $token='e9de6fb6-1234-5678-8bbc-b5073fd1edef'){ shell_exec('/usr/bin/curl -H "Authorization: Bearer '.$token.'" --data "'.$params.'" http://localhost:4567/forum/api/v1/categories'); } } $nodebb = new nodebb; $nodebb->category_add(); return false; Now it's much easier

You don't have to. NodeBB core makes sure all requests to those routes are from admins. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/routes/index.js#L125-L126

I don't think we have that documentation right now, couple months ago I started a doc in the github wiki about the db structure but I don't think it got moved over to the docs website. Either way the best way to store your plugin data is to prefix the name of your keys with the plugin id so it doesn't conflict with other plugins. Also you need to be careful to not break any of the core objects, ie if you delete the key users:joindate you will have problems.
