    1.

    You could try to get the posts using the stream property.

    Then loop into the results and look for the author type="user" to get the user id

    With the user id, you should be able to get your role, and check if it's 'aux' or not.

     

    This is just an idea, I haven't tried it and not sure it will work nor how difficult it would be to code it.

     

    2.

    Please have a look at this thread.

     I saw the post you referred, my requirement is different. They just call the component on page to show pagination  but I need a way to get 5 recent posts from specific role. i.e. Role 'aux' contain many user but I want whatever the user posts in community, I need to get top 5 posts. from any user in 'Aux' role

    Some how I created restAPI for this requirement. Now I need help to implement in FTL

     

    Step 1.

    Created following restAPI to consume the users from specific role:

    /restapi/vc/roles/name/psnow/users

     

    Step 2:

    Save the user ids into some list and iterate them one by one to fetch the most latest post from them, 

    API to be used is as follows:

    /restapi/vc/users/id/576931/posts/latest
