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 …

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:
