Ooops. I tested it before I posted, and the reason it worked is because it turns out that authentication isn’t needed for that query.

I’ve edited the comment now, and there only being one part means that there’s no need for an ampersand, so there’s no probs with special characters.

Hi. I’ve found the best place to test the api is here

Example script for making a post

my_instance="https://lemm.ee"

auth="YOUR-JWT"
community_id=COMMUNITY-ID
name="TITLE OF POST"
body="BODY OF POST"

API="api/v3"

create() {
        end_point="post"
        json_data="{\"auth\":\"$auth\",\"community_id\":$community_id,\"name\":\"$name\",\"body\":\"$body\"}"

        url="$my_instance/$API/$end_point"

        curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$json_data" "$url"
}

create

You’ll need to get your instance’s community.id for the community you want to post to. To use this community as an example, it would be:

my_instance="https://lemm.ee"

API="api/v3"

resolve() {
        end_point="resolve_object"
        www_data="q=https://lemmy.zip/c/linuxscripts"

        url="$my_instance/$API/$end_point?$www_data"

        curl "$url"
}

resolve

(lemmy will probably sanitise the ampersand in that query, so you’ll have to replace the HTML with a literal ampersand)

I’m still transferring stuff between my phone and computer using FTP, like some caveman.

Just seen it, had earlier dismissed as a kids film, but really enjoyed it.

There’s a straightforward trans allegory, but it could also be applied to other situations where societies “make their own monsters”. After all, the proverb “A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth” is as old as humanity itself.
