Discourse API

Bambu Lab's forum is a Discourse instance and exposes public JSON endpoints that are useful for PMM research and changelog refreshes.

Endpoints Used

• /t/<id>.json for topic detail and post streams
• /t/<slug>/<id>.json as a slugged topic variant
• /search.json?q=... for topic discovery
• /c/makerworld/makerlab/163.json for the MakerLab category feed
• /latest.json for broad discovery

Fetching Strategy

• Use a browser-like user agent.
• Treat the JSON payloads as evidence snapshots, not as a stable product API contract.
• Save raw payloads and sidecar metadata under sources/raw/discourse/.

Current Snapshot Inventory

• MakerWorld app-endpoint artifacts indexed elsewhere: 5
• MakerWorld public web assets indexed elsewhere: 12
• Discourse artifacts indexed: 24
• Manual UI captures are intentionally separate and are not fetched by the script.

See scripts/fetch_sources.py for forum and direct JSON fetches, and docs/web-discovery.md for public PMM web-asset discovery.
