Reporting back. Using existing libraries, this is much simpler than I was making it. Here's some sample Python code which posts "Hello, World!" to topic ID 2. Thanks, @julian, for telling me about socket.io.
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace import requests import json session = requests.Session() csrf_token = json.loads(session.get('http://yourdomain:port/api/config').text)['csrf_token'] headers = { 'x-csrf-token': csrf_token } data = { "username": "yourUsername", "password": "yourPassword" } response = session.post("http://yourdomain:port/login", headers=headers, data=data) def on_response(*args): print('on_response', json.dumps(args)) with SocketIO('yourdomain', port, LoggingNamespace, cookies=session.cookies.get_dict()) as s: s.emit('posts.reply', {'tid': 2, 'content': "Hello, World!"}, on_response) s.wait_for_callbacks(seconds=1)Post, upload, chat from api

I'm planning to build a mobile app for nodebb forums especially for my forum.
An app just like tapatalk.
I wonder if I can use API to upload, post, create topic and so on...? -

There is a write API, although it doesn't support much yet. Still in development
Aiming for 0.6.0
-
@julian oh so, keep pending till v0.6.0
-
Did you end up building the mobile app for this?
-
@2MWsports No, but there's a write API now
-
What is the status of this API? I am interested in writing a mobile app for this using the Ionic Framework.
