Khan Academy API | How can we have a user send a message into a thread?

How can we help?

I have an idea for a contest I am helping put together, that rather than have a user find the thread below, they can input their text directly from the website, and send it into the thread into the right format, which will stop them from messing up the format (reading the replies using .includes and sorting them into different categories).

Is there an API function which I could use where when the user presses the button it will send their message into the right thread? Is this against the guidelines?

I will have a warning asking them to confirm, if that is an issue.

Hey there Polar, this isn't possible in the current coding environment for KA

To do this ideally you would need to make POST requests which are disabled by CORS

To make this work you would have to create a bookmarklet which is now against the guidelines

Hope this helped

There certainly are methods, but they are not allowed or intended to be used. Imagine if anyone could make anyone else post anything anywhere! We have enough problems on KA as it is with malicious users. This would be chaos.
