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 ---

The Makecode Forums are powered by **Discourse**. Try [their API documentation here](https://docs.discourse.org/). ---

Discourse (the software that powers these forums) has an [API](https://docs.discourse.org/), but it’s most likely disabled. ---

for ref current settings in my admin panel: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/33138e0297fea3efbda19235c871d45a25922e91.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/d/d489d9d27461474e344d216542da27191b03052a.png) which I believe is the default? but an important note is that I can freely click the checkbox if anyone starts using it maliciously / creating spam, so be good 🙂 ---

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