I have installed the Lemmy using docker. I need to use API to create a community but it is not allowing me to POST the data. I followed all the steps which is required for creating community using API. Below are the steps I am using for creating a community. Using POSTMAN Headers : Content-Type : application/json
Body parameters name: testing title: testing auth: string
You shouldn’t post the
auth
value here - it works like a username and password.It was the dummy, anyhow removed
He meant remove it from the post, anyone can use it to make requests to your server lol
do you have thought on this post?
The guy below was right. Your hitting the wrong url. If that didn’t fix it, it’s probably your postman set up. Does curl work? Ex:
curl -i -H
“Content-Type: application/json”
-X POST
-d ‘{ “auth”: “you key”, “name”: “some name”, “title”: “some name” }’
https://someurl.com/api/v3/communityIt works thanks!
From what it looks like, you’re calling on
/community/create
, the API docs show it’s just/community
.thanks, @jamie but unfortunately it is also not working
