Filter topics by board_id
I'm using the /topics/style/board/recent call to create a list of recent topic posts. Is there any way to exclude certain board_ids from the list retrieved? Or maybe to specify which board_ids I want included? Thanks.

Hi Bryan,
As I know /topics/style/board/recent may not provide the board inclusion or exclusion feature. you may consider to user /search api
for example, in your example,
/search/messages?include_forums=true&sort_by=-date&collapse_discussion=true&board_ids=pmA,tcB
- include_forums=true means to get messages under boards only, no TKB, no idea
- sort_by=-date means to get messages in desc order
- collapse_discussion=ture means to get topics only, no need to include replies
- boards_id means a comma separated list of boards
I hope that my answer helps.
btw: if you worried about the user right, if user has no access to board X and board Y, no post from those boards will be shown with your REST API calls (no matter /recent or /search) with freemarker "rest("/......")"
- This doesn't seem to return any messages unless I set a search field and a search term... am I doing something wrong?
Hi bryanpollack ,
I have added q=is_root , which gives me only the root message. Can you give this a try ?
/search/messages?q=is_root&include_forums=true&sort_by=-date&collapse_discussion=true&board_ids=sample1,sample2
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sam
- The response says success, but it's still an empty list of messages.
