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...

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

 

  1. include_forums=true means to get messages under boards only, no TKB, no idea
  2. sort_by=-date means to get messages in desc order
  3. collapse_discussion=ture means to get topics only, no need to include replies
  4. 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("/......")"
