I have installed the Lemmy using docker. I need to use API to create a community but it is not allowing me to POST the data. I followed all the steps which is required for creating community using API. Below are the steps I am using for creating a community. Using POSTMAN Headers : Content-Type : application/json
Body parameters name: testing title: testing auth: string

You shouldn't post the
authvalue here - it works like a username and password.akwebdev@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y

The guy below was right. Your hitting the wrong url. If that didn’t fix it, it’s probably your postman set up. Does curl work? Ex:
curl -i -H
"Content-Type: application/json"
-X POST
-d '{ "auth": "you key", "name": "some name", "title": "some name" }'

It works thanks!

From what it looks like, you're calling on
/community/create, the API docs show it's just/community.akwebdev@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
thanks, @jamie but unfortunately it is also not working
