Creating a new topic

[Adarrical]

Hi Sam,

I use the package to create a topic. I get 404 error.
Class Client call host/topics.json?title.... etc but api documentation create post and topic in the same way host/posts.json

Sam, if you change your code host/topics.json by host/posts.json topics are created succesfully.

Thanks in advance.

Can you show the code that is making this call and the full response?

Hi Sam,

Here my full code:

import sys 
import requests
from datetime import datetime,timedelta
sys.path.append('../classes_py')
from Console import ConInputs
import discourse 

def create_topic(title, raw, category=33):
     client = discourse.Client(
             host='https://foro.ojodigital.com/',
             api_username='Albert',
             api_key='[REDACTED]',
     )

     
     return client.create_topic(title,raw,category)   


categories = {'Paisajes':13 , 
              'Otras': 17, 
              'Urbanas': 16,

              'Macros':10,
              'Series':18, }

con_input = ConInputs()  #Get input date

fecha_inicio = con_input.gettime()   #Date start
fecha_fin = (fecha_inicio + timedelta(days=6))  #Date end

        url_ = url_ + "&limit=None"
        
        print(url_)
        
        response = requests.get(url_)
        response_json = response.json()

        if response_json['posts'] == []:
                print("Categoria vacía")  #No Topics in category
        else:

                raw = 'Estas son las fotografias de esta semana'
              
                response_t = create_topic(title, raw)
               
                               
                input("Press any key")
                for topic in response_json['topics'] :
                        creation_date = datetime.strptime(topic['created_at'][:10],'%Y-%m-%d').date()

                                print(topic_id, topic_title, topic_img, creation_date)

I've modified my API Key.

If you change your code _response = self.request('POST', 'topics.json', params=... by _response = self.request('POST', 'posts.json', params= program works fine.

thanks in advance.
