Makecode Forum API?

Hello @richard or @jwunderl, Have you guys/Makecode considered creating an API for the Forum?
This way users could create software to track their posts/use valuable data. Just a thought to consider. Thanks!

The forums run on Discourse. Look up discourse API to find out how to use it

Discourse (the software that powers these forums) has an API, but it’s most likely disabled.

Cool! Care to share your project? Was it python?

Yep, it was Python. I don’t plan on sharing it though, since it’s pretty messy and it was proprietary…

Ah, cool!
