Creating Threads Based off of a Script from an RSS Feed

You could do this using the REST API - you'd need to create an application that consumes the RSS feed, and creates threads via the appropriate REST API calls.

You'd need to think about who the author should be. The simplest solution is to have a dedicated author for all RSS content, but you could do something more complex (like mapping a property of the RSS feed to a login name).

You'll also need to consider how to avoid duplication - you'll need a way of identifying which RSS feed items you've already turned into threads (assuming you are doing this on a regular basis).

I am getting an error while hitting the rest api, I have Granted the "Make REST API calls with modify access" permission

<error code="504">
<message>
Method 'get' is not supported off of node 'message.reply'.
</message>
</error>

From the error it looks like you're trying to create the thread using a HTTP GET instead of a HTTP POST (the difference is in how you pass parameters, i.e. thread title etc.).

Can you provide the API to post a thread to a board. As a test, I am using /restapi/vc/messages/id/5139/reply whichi is ot post a reply on a thread. I believe posting a thread to a board should work the same way.

Hi, 

We also need something similar, but we do not have a RSS feed to base each automatic new thread. Instead, we were looking if there is a way to automatically create posts under a specific area, by following a simple action (eg: user sending an email to a board email address to automatically create a post under it) Any idea if there is a simpler way than writing a RESTcall?

Thanks, Zehra
