I want to write a simple Lemmy Command line client that posts to a community.
There is https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/CreatePost.html but it expects a community ID community_id, I would have expected that I can get the community ID by community name / or URL but GetCommunity does not seem to offer this https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/GetCommunity.html#id
Any ideas?

I haven’t tried any of the API stuff, but I just took a look through the source for this Python library: https://github.com/db0/pythorhead/
It looks like they’re getting the community ID in the
discover_communityfunction by hitting this endpoint:/api/v3/community?name=<community_name>And then getting
["community_view"]["community"]["id"]from the returned JSON.
