API For Categories

[cytrax]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a project to pull data from an external source using search criteria and then create a category on a fly for that search criteria if I get 200 OK from the data source. If the category already exists in NodeBB, then do nothing.

Does NodeBB API extend to this use-case? And if anyone has implementation similar to this, please help share your deployment story.

Thanks guys.

You probably need to use the write api plugin: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api/tree/master/routes/v1

Exactly what I needed but I couldn't locate that particular segment. Thank you so much.
