API gotchas

  • Discourse uses API_KEY authentication mode with Api-Key: apiKey and Api-Username: API Username in the request header to access different endpoints. Both keys can be obtained from the admin panel.

  • Since the platform automatically sets the Accept: application/json header, there is no need to include the .json suffix in API endpoint URLs. For example, instead of sending a request to /categories.json, you can send it to /categories, and the JSON response will still be returned.
