    Yes, you can make a V2 hit from JS also. But URL will be like this
    For stage

     

    https://api.stage.lithium.com/community/2.0/<tenant_id>/search?q=SELECT+*+FROM+messages+LIMIT+1&api.pretty_print=true&client-id=xxxxxxxxxx

     

    For production

    https://api.lithium.com/community/2.0/<tenant_id>/search?q=SELECT+*+FROM+messages+LIMIT+1&api.pretty_print=true&client-id=LFE0UbsMFc9uDhsZLu03q77KZZjO78svnKTGyT6FDRs=

    Client id can be generated from App under Admin > System > API Apps 


    For authentication, you may need to pass the session id also which can be generated using below API by passing username and password

Hi Inactive User ,

Yes this is a thing. I myself do them all the time. To be able to do this from a page on your community you can use the URL above. I, however, use this one;

https://<community_domain>/<community_id>/api/2.0/search?q=

The bit after the *q* parameter has to be encoded using the encodeURIComponent() in Javascript.
