[Chris]

If you are using the Xenforo community forum script and starting to learn the Xenforo Rest API. This post is to show you how you can programmatically create a new thread with this simple Python script.

# Xenforo Forum - Programmatic Create new Thread
import requests

# Send API header request
headers = {
          'Content-type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
           'XF-Api-User': '1',
          'XF-Api-Key' : 'api-key-goes-here'
          }

# Connect with the API Endpoint
url = 'https://example.com/api/threads/

# Post new thread title & message
data = {
    'node_id': 23, # node ID is the forum ID
    'title': 'This is the thread title',
    'message': 'This is the thread message body contents This is the thread message body contents.'
}

r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)

# Print the response (200 is success)
print(r)
