You’ll need a session token, also known as JWT, which you can get from logging in.

For authentication, you can pass the header authorization: Bearer {jwt}, with {jwt} being the session token.

You’ll need to figure out the id of the community that you want to post to.
If you need to look it up, you can use getCommunity to fetch its details. Afterwards you can use createPost to submit it.
The
formlinks for the methods explain the request body json values that should be provided.
