Here is an Ars Technica article on the technology.

The ghost monsters had it coming!

Are these the hot spots that lead to the storm, or the storm track itself?

Cool. Then my other answer is correct. I appreciate the help!

Okay, before I head off to bed, I think this works for the login and authentication token:

import requests
import json

def login(username_or_email, password):
    # Define the URL for the login endpoint
    url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/v1/user/login"

    # Define the headers for the request
    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

    # Define the data for the login
    data = {
     "username_or_email": username_or_email,
     "password": password
    }

    # Send the POST request
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

    # Extract the JWT from the response
    jwt = response.json().get('jwt')

    return jwt

# Use the login function
jwt = login("your_username_or_email", "your_password")
print(jwt)

The JSON Web Token (jwt) should contain the authentication token. At least I think that’s the case. I picked this out by reading through the Go code at the following URL: https://github.com/Elara6331/go-lemmy/blob/master/lemmy.go

I’ll play around with the code later.

Here’s another example, this time for creating a comment:

import requests
import json

# Define the URL for the API endpoint
url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/v1/comment"

# Define the headers for the request
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

# Define the data for the new comment
data = {
 "content": "Your comment content",
 "post_id": 123,  # Replace with the ID of the post you're commenting on
 "form_id": "your_form_id",  # Replace with your form ID
 "auth": "your_auth_token_here"
}

# Send the POST request
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

# Print the response
print(response.json())

Does anyone know how to do the login process in Lemmy, and retrieve an auth token?
