I'd like to create an AI Chatbot for discourse
I wanna build an AI chatbot for a discourse forum but turns out we wont get the API access, Is there any potential way to still be able to automate sending messages and getting replies from there? maybe webscraping is a thing, but that only gets the reply IG
I have the AI backend ready and I just want a way to automate the interaction with the forum

what is discourse?
just google it?
You may not automate access to the forum, or monitor the forum, such as with a web crawler, browser plug-in or add-on, or other computer program that is not a web browser. You may crawl the forum to index it for a publicly available search engine, if you run one.via https://meta.discourse.org/tos

doesn't look like this is something you can do sorry
alright, thanks for the time
maybe I'll just ask for the API

Discourse REST API comprehensive examples
There are several guides covering various API uses or explanations. This one gives practical and comprehensive examples on how to use it. ⚠ All code examples in this guide aren’t meant to display good practice or to be used as they are. A lot of checks, error handling and so on are purposely ignored or skipped to focus purely on the API...
nvm im wrong there is an API you can work with
ok so what's the problem here, you can't get API access to discourse or to the AI chatbot? or both?
the AI part is sorted, we just wanna automate sending and recieving messages
