    Hi farrcycle,

    Using Community API v2, you could use a LiQL query like this to get attachments from messages appearing in a specific board:

     

    SELECT attachments FROM messages WHERE attachments.count(*) > 0 AND board.id = 'myForum'

Unfortunately, there is no such V1 call. to get all the attachment for a specific board. There is a way to get it but it is a little bit complex.
First to get all the messages for that specific board and then fetch the attachments for an individual message.

Hi sam2,

For what it's worth, you can use V1 and V2 calls together. Is there a specific reason you needed v1?

    SuzieH Thank you for your time. Regarding the API I just wanted to confirm if its possible with V1.
