So far I've been able to get posts to create, but not update. Since a semi-recent update to their backend, I've had to monkeypatch the create_post piazza api seen below for working example:
# login to piazza with a specific class
# all class specifics should be given either
# in an .env file (development) or environment
# variables
piazza_access = Piazza()
piazza_access.user_login(
email=login_credentials.email,
password=login_credentials.password.get_secret_value(),
)
# login to that specific course.
course_logged = piazza_access.network(network_id=login_credentials.course_id)
def create_post(
self,
post_type,
post_folders,
post_subject,
post_content,
visible_to,
is_announcement=0,
bypass_email=0,
anonymous=False,
):
"""Create a post
It seems like if the post has `<p>` tags, then it's treated as HTML,
but is treated as text otherwise. You'll want to provide `content`
accordingly.
:type post_type: str
:param post_type: 'note', 'question'

params = {
"anonymous": "yes" if anonymous else "no",
"subject": post_subject,
"content": post_content,
"folders": post_folders,
"type": post_type,
"config": {
"bypass_email": bypass_email,
"is_announcement": is_announcement,
"feed_groups": visible_to,

}
return self._rpc.content_create(params)
course.create_post = types.MethodType(monkeypatch.create_post, course)
#### This works just fine!!!
course.create_post(
**CreatePostModel( # pydantic model with needed info
post_type="note",
post_folders=["other"],
visible_to=posted_to,
post_content=lecture_content_html,
post_subject="Lecture Slides",
).model_dump()
However, no luck for updating posts, anything similar like feeding in cid (post id) and post content, and any permutation of the additional info needed for the create monkeypatch, gives the same response:
def update_post_monkeypatch(
self,
cid: int,
post_type: str,
post_folders: str,
post_subject: str,
post_content: str,
visible_to: str,
is_announcement: int = 0,
bypass_email: int = 1,
anonymous: bool = False,
):

Something to do with this url made to piazza's backend: https://piazza.com/logic/api?method=content.update&aid=<aid-nonce_here>
Response: {\n "result": null,\n "error_codes": [],\n "error": "The post you are looking for cannot be found",\n "aid": "luxl22pj6p74en"\n}
I've tried every permutation or including or excluding things, and haven't been able to make any headway, so I'm a bit stumped! Any ideas? Happy to do some work on this if someone knows a fix.
