I'm currently working on a script to automate posting replies to topics in a NodeBB forum using the NodeBB API. I have successfully managed to log in and retrieve user data, but I'm encountering issues when trying to post a reply to a topic.
Here is the relevant part of my code:
Python
import requests
import json
class NodeBBAPI:
def __init__(self):
self.session = requests.Session()
self.session.verify = False
self.base_url = "https://example.com/"
self.headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36',
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest',
'Origin': 'https://example.com/',
'Referer': 'https://example.com/'
}
self.user_data = None
def login(self, username, password):
try:
config_response = self.session.get(
f"{self.base_url}/api/config",
headers=self.headers
)
login_data = {
"username": username,
"password": password
}
login_response = self.session.post(
f"{self.base_url}/api/v3/utilities/login",
json=login_data,
headers=self.headers
)
if login_response.ok:
response_data = login_response.json()
if response_data.get('status', {}).get('code') == 'ok':
self.user_data = response_data.get('response', {})
self.headers['Authorization'] = f"Bearer {self.user_data.get('token')}"
return True
return False
except Exception as e:
print(f"Login error: {str(e)}")
return False
def post_reply(self, topic_id, content):
if not self.user_data:
print("You must log in first!")
return None
try:
reply_data = {
"content": content,
"_uid": self.user_data.get("uid")
}
response = self.session.post(
f"{self.base_url}/api/v3/topics/{topic_id}/reply",
json=reply_data,
headers=self.headers
)
return response.ok
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error posting reply: {str(e)}")
return False
def main():
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
topic_id = 123 # Replace with the actual topic ID
content = 'This is an automated reply.'
nodebb = NodeBBAPI()
if nodebb.login(username, password):
if nodebb.post_reply(topic_id, content):
print("Reply posted successfully!")
else:
print("Failed to post reply.")
else:
print("Login failed.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
I am able to log in successfully and get the user data, but when I attempt to post a reply, I receive a 403 Forbidden error.
Here are some details from the response:
Status Code: 403 Response: "Forbidden" I have verified that my user account has write permissions and I can post replies manually via the web interface.
Can anyone provide insights into what might be going wrong or if there are any specific headers or parameters that I need to include in the request?
Thank you in advance for your help!
tell me what plugin it is?
