Automating thread creation based on floders content.

I am a new PHP developer playing with vanilla forum for our site.
I want to automate thread creation based on a script which will run after a set interval.The script will review a specific folder for image files and for each file create a new discussion thread .Once the discussion thread is live the image will be moved to another folder.
Is there any add on that can help me .Or any guidance that how can I achieve the above.

There is an API but I think not for 2.1. See here for more info on the API: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/213561#Comment_213561
Welcome to the community!
The API requires 2.2+ which is in alpha stage right now. I wouldn't suggest using it for production.

You can use the DiscussionModel, using some User like the System User the question is if you are going to do it through a cron job, and if you want it to be a standalone internal script or you wan to invoke the dispatcher through HTTP in which case you would need some basic security, to ensure.
I would first study how to use the discussion model. There are plugin that use it, and in the core.
grep is your friend.
