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?
Okay, before I head off to bed, I think this works for the login and authentication token:
The JSON Web Token (jwt) should contain the authentication token. At least I think that's the case. I picked this out by reading through the Go code at the following URL: https://github.com/Elara6331/go-lemmy/blob/master/lemmy.go
I'll play around with the code later.
