Here’s a kind of guess on how to create a post using python’s requests library:
import requests
import json
# Define the URL for the API endpoint
url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/v1/post"# Define the headers for the request
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
# Define the data for the new post
data = {
"name": "Your Post Title",
"community_id": 123, # Replace with your community ID"url": "https://your-url.com", # Optional"body": "Your post content", # Optional"nsfw": False, # Optional"language_id": 1, # Optional, replace with your language ID"auth": "your_auth_token_here"
}
# Send the POST request
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
# Print the responseprint(response.json())
Does this look right? I understand that I’ll have to authenticate to the server to do this, but I’m really not sure how to do that.
