I’m looking for examples of calls to the Lemmy API… I’ve been to the following link in the documentation:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/04-api.html
However I don’t see any direct examples of uses of the API for common cases, like creating a post, creating a comment or getting either type of item. Some of the linked documentation from that page points to what I believe is typescript code for interfaces, but that does not really have examples of actually calling those interfaces. I can make some logical guesses at to what the calls should be, but I don’t have a way to really verify this yet.
Does anyone have some working examples they can post?
Here’s another example, this time for creating a comment:
import requests import json # Define the URL for the API endpoint url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/v1/comment" # Define the headers for the request headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} # Define the data for the new comment data = { "content": "Your comment content", "post_id": 123, # Replace with the ID of the post you're commenting on "form_id": "your_form_id", # Replace with your form ID "auth": "your_auth_token_here" } # Send the POST request response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data)) # Print the response print(response.json())
Does anyone know how to do the login process in Lemmy, and retrieve an auth token?
