Meta development JSON feed of a thread

[lazzarello]

It has come to my attention that anyone can get a JSON representation of any thread on Discourse by appending .json to a thread’s top level URL. For example, all of the posts in the “what are you listening to?” thread in JSON

What are you listening to?

I enjoyed this thread and got a lot of recommendations from it on monome.org. I’m currently loving Oneohtrix Point Never’s latest “Garden of Delete”

There’s also .rss but it doesn’t seem to include all posts. Maybe it can accept parameters?

I don’t need a distraction but when I do I’m totally gonna make a music scraper from that thread.

I’ve been thinking about this idea as well, would be awesome to scrape that thread and have a random playback. almost like a lines radio station!

Norns lines radio anyone?

Another good thread to mine:

Latest tracks + videos

My favourite thread on the monome community over the last couple of years has been the “latest tracks / videos” thread. Thanks to that thread I now follow a good few musicians on instagram / youtube / vimeo / bandcamp / soundcloud and get a load of quality tracks in my normal social media feed. Get involved, people! Let me hear your tunes!
