Incoming Webhooks alike?

hexathos

Hi,

I want to create Discussions/Posts from external tools, like monitoring stuff and so on. They are already using Webhooks to send notifications to Mattermost, Discord, and so on...

Is there a way to to hook into /api to create posts on a way like that, maybe using api_keys? And if so, how can i do auth for special users my tools will use?

hexathos You can look at the old documentation of the web API @ https://web.archive.org/web/20171230195020/http://flarum.org/docs/api/. Some endpoints have changed since (/api/forum => /api), but I think you can get the idea.

What I'd suggest is that you look at the HTTP request data when you start discussions & post on discussions, so you can see what data to send. Flarum uses the JSON-API spec.

Thanks for your hint! I got it to run now and Jenkins is already posting into Flarum 😃
