Get the number of posts by a user in a board

What is the REST API call to get the number of posts by a user in a certain period of time (3 months)?   I know we can use the method posts / in / boards / id / [board_id]. However, I want to limit...

Hi VarunGrazitti ,

 

do you mean to say "author=" instead of "author_login="? I did a quick search on our product code, I don't think that we are looking into query parameter for "author_login", but only for "author".

 

nicolasdarmadja , if you are looking into screen name i.e. "author=HaidongG", please make sure that the screen name is unique. As community doesn't do any screen name validation for SSO login, it may lead to two accounts with the same screen name.

 

I hope that this helps.

HaidongG  - Yes, you're correct, I tried the following call with your ID and Login as an example :smileyhappy:

 

Used - author_id=16178

Used - author=HaidongG

@nicolasdarmadja - You can use author instead of author_id if you need to use the login of the user.
