a Flarum that creates post automatically using API

r4nchy

Well, I wanted to create a backup of posts and data from various sources as I didn't want to visit each of them because of too many distractions in it. But the ease of access to that data was something that Flarum could fulfill.

So I created this automated Flarum that automatically posts data (cleaned) from a CSV file every day.

Now I can read the news without any Advertisements or other kinds of distractions 😄

There is nothing to look at on the forum but the only idea that I wanted to show here is that one can create a database of whatever content they may like and treat the Flarum as a medium to interact with those data. But Everything done automatically.

This website greatly inspired by @[deleted] forum.phenomlab.com

r4nchy very creative ! And thanks for using my (previous, now replaced with https://hostrisk.com which operates using a similar principle) site 👍

r4nchy would it be possible for you to guide on how to do this? I am looking for a solution to do this for an internal project where about a 1000 discussions need to be created such that we can post to them..

Your Flarum see to be not upgraded! (thanks to the spinner LOL 😀 )

Stylix58 it is really a daunting task to update Flarum, I will do it a few months later 😉

MTry you might want to look at the python API by @SKevo (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/28221-pyflarum-an-easy-to-use-python-36-package-to-manipulate-with-flarums-api).

Or the php api client: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24880-flarum-api-client-php

@GreXXL @luceos - thank you for your quick guidance.. both the projects you pointed me to did come up during my search for a solution. Unfortunately I am neither super adept at python nor have the time at the moment to hack my way through this.. hence was looking for a ready solution if that existed or pay for someone to rig me a dedicated script that can serve the purpose as per my post in the services section [https://discuss.flarum.org/d/36213-bulk-create-discussions-from-csv]

MTry you can always post inServices and look for someone to offer it as a paid service to you.
