UNSOLVED Using API to create posts and topics

[phenomlab]

Can anyone provide the correct syntax to use when creating posts or topics via the API ?

The documentation is a little lacking in this area - or perhaps I missed it.

Thanks

Hi, @phenomlab!

Calls to create:

• a topic - /api/v3/topics/ (docs);
• a post - /api/v3/topics/{tid} (docs).

In my project I call the /api/v3/topics/ to create a new topic via Python and requests lib:

data = {
    "cid": int(cid),
    "title": entry.title,
    "content": '\n'.join(description),
    "tags": tags
}
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer {token}'.format(token=os.environ.get('NODEBB_TOKEN'))}
url = '{host}/api/v3/topics/'.format(host=os.environ.get('NODEBB_URL'))

response = requests.post(
    url=url,
    headers=headers,
    json=data
)
response.raise_for_status()
