pydiscourse

A Python library for the Discourse API. Its pretty basic right now but you need to start somewhere.

Examples

Create a client connection to a Discourse server::

from pydiscourse.client import DiscourseClient
client = DiscourseClient('http://example.com', api_username='username', api_key='areallylongstringfromdiscourse')

Get info about a user::

user = client.user('eviltrout')
print user

user_topics = client.topics_by('johnsmith')
print user_topics

Create a new user::

user = client.create_user('The Black Knight', 'blacknight', 'knight@python.org', 'justafleshwound')

Command line

To help experiment with the Discourse API, pydiscourse provides a simple command line client::

export DISCOURSE_API_KEY=your_master_key
pydiscoursecli --host=http://yourhost --api-username=system latest_topics
pydiscoursecli --host=http://yourhost --api-username=system topics_by johnsmith
pydiscoursecli --host=http://yourhost --api-username=system user eviltrout
