Get All Posts in Community through Rest
Is there a way to get a list of every post in your community? Is this possible through the rest api, metrics, or some other method? I ask because, I need a way to traverse the results for spefic ...

In addition to what NoamanA said - there are also other considerations to make when adopting such an approach. For example, if you have a very large community, it may be inefficient to traverse the entire posts tree, especially if it's a frequent task - probably we would be able to help out better with some more detail around the specific problem you are trying to solve.
Thanks,
I posted this thread on video aggregation.
I'll summarize the question from that thread and why I wanted to traverse all posts.
I want to find every video posted on the community and link them on one page.
An answer that seemed initially promising was that I should preform a search and return a filtered view of videos. However! How do you preform a blanket search on the entire community? I can do this on specific queries no problem.
One thing I did notice on my community is that all videos are stored /t5/video/gallerypage/video-id/ Then followed by some ID (NzZ2Z1ZD....) Can't find any documentation....
This thread is helping me narrow down my path on how I should accomplish this task. If this doesn't work, I will likely tag each video post, and do a rest api call on returning posts with that tag. Then diving deeper to grab the links within the posts.
This won't help historically, however going forward you could use an event subscription and subscribe to MessageCreate and then have an external system process the message body looking for specific content and store the message ID for matches. Then have the remote system autheticate at some schedualled time adding labels to these posts for later filtering.
