I’ve written a script to repost Github posts to Lemmy but now I’m trying to repost comments too and I don’t know how to get the corresponding post_id that I need to do that.

lemmy.comment.create(post_id, comment_body)

Is there a way to associate the Github URL to the post_id when creating it with Pythorhead and then figuring out the Github URL from the comment and getting the post_id that way?

Alternatively, would something like this work? If so how would I limit the search to a specific community?

import requests

# GitHub URL of the post
github_url = "https://github.com/user/repo/issues/123"

# Lemmy API endpoint to search for posts
lemmy_search_url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/search"

# Query parameters for the search endpoint
params = {
    "q": github_url,
    "type": "link",
    "sort": "relevance",
    "limit": 1
}

# Send a GET request to the search endpoint
response = requests.get(lemmy_search_url, params=params)

# Parse the response JSON to get the post_id
post_id = response.json()["posts"][0]["id"]

# Use the post_id to create a comment in Lemmy
lemmy.comment.create(post_id, comment_body)

Are there any other ways?
