Module for MagicMirror forum

[karsten13]

the use of a csrf token is restricted to admins (as already mentioned by @bugsounet), there is a hack described here to open this for all users but I don’t think we should do this.

For accessing the read(-only) api you can use a cookie from your browser, e.g.

curl --cookie "express.sid=xxxxxxx" https://forum.magicmirror.builders/api/unread

but this would be challenging to use in a module for mm …

[bugsounet]

best way is using RSS

like this

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@bugsounet Okay, that’s nice. But is it possible to get unread messages or notifications using RSS?

[bugsounet]

nop it’s not possible

read api doc

The API key is managed from the admin panel
It is given so that the user has access to it for external use

I don’t think that Veeck and @karsten13 will send it ;)

That why best way is using recent only by rss

my first js approach:

let Parser = require('rss-parser');
let parser = new Parser();
let rss = "https://forum.magicmirror.builders/recent.rss";

(async () => {

  let feed = await parser.parseURL(rss);

  feed.items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(item.title + ' --> ' + item.link)
  });

})();

Result:
