Describe the problem/error/question

Can someone share me an example on how to edit a post in xenforo forum type? I had a look at their API and it doesn’t seem to support oauth login and the endpoints only works if you are the Admin of the forum. What I want to do is edit a post as a member on a forum that doesn’t belong to me

What is the error message (if any)?

if you want to edit existing post or thread via api you can do it .
go to xenforo admin panel click on api
and configure it as

thread:write

no other permission required for editing thread or post

That only works if you’re the admin of the forum which I’m not. I’m looking to edit posts that I posted someone else’s forum

You need an API key to make changes. You cannot unless you use your username and password and then use n8n to scrape you information. Find what you want to replace for your OWN account. Otherwise, you won’t be able to edit other peoples posts.
