I am looking to interact with an instance of the Discourse forum software via AJAX.
I have not installed the Discourse API gem, rather I would like to send AJAX requests to the pre-existing Discourse web instance. Do I need the API gem to do this?
I can perform GET requests just fine, but for some reason performing a POST to "/posts" fails. I am adding the API key and api_username in the query string. I have enabled all of the CORS settings in the admin options as well as my app.yml file. I have also set the nginx headers to allow CORS.
It is failing at OPTIONS every time. Really not sure what I'm missing. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
