Community hot/popular posts

It seems the API has a call to retrieve popular posts within each board, but I'd like to get them across the entire community. Is that possible? Thanks.

    I'm going to try a custom method going by most replies with the latest reply within a certain timespan. Thanks.

Hi bryanpollack ,

 

the first question to ask you is, what is your understanding to popular?

 

to what I understand, the board level, threads/popular simplly means sort by kudos, if that is what you want, you may want to just use kudos/messages/leaderboard  to list the most kudoed messages.

 

if you want to have threads with most number of messages inside, you may consider to use search/messages with ?sort_by=-replies.

 

I hope that this helps.
