      The Discourse API exposes the full set of REST endpoints used to manage a Discourse forum, including categories,
      topics, posts, users, groups, tags, badges, uploads, search, site settings, and admin operations. Authentication
      uses an API Key plus an Api-Username header issued from the Discourse admin panel.
