I have done something similar to this. I created an API wrapper in the frontend controller. You don't have to include any file at all.

Create a php file named apiwrapper.php in /includes/vb5/frontend/controller directory. The class name suffix has to match the filename.

PHP Code:

<?php
class vB5_Frontend_Controller_ApiWrapper extends vB5_Frontend_Controller
{
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }   
 
    public function actionCreatePost() {
 
        // validate ip address to restrict unauthorized calls

        // validate input data in $_POST
        
        // set user session to a user that has create post permission:
        // $this->setUserSession(1);

        // call content api to create the node passing all the required parameters:
        // $nodeid = Api_InterfaceAbstract::instance()->callApi('content_text', 'add', array($data, array())); // $data is an array containing title, parentid, rawtext, userid, etc.

        // return the nodeid generated as a JSON:
        // $result['nodeid'] = $nodeid;
        // $this->sendAsJson($result);
 
    }
 
 
    protected function setUserSession($postUserId) {
 
        $session = vB::getCurrentSession();
        $userid = $session->get('userid');   
 
        if ($userid != $postUserId) {
            $newsession = new vB_Session_Cli(vB::getDbAssertor(), vB::getDatastore(), vB::getConfig(), $postUserId);
            vB::setCurrentSession($newsession);
        }
 
    }
 
}

To call actionCreatePost() method, use CURL, jQuery (if forum is on same domain as the originating call) or any tool/library that supports HTTP transfer. The URL endpoint for the call is http://yourdomain.com/apiwrapper/createPost then you have to pass the parameters as POST data.
