messages with body under a thread

Hi,

 

I'm working with Lithium Communities API. Currently I'm getting all the messages under a thread using  http://uxcde46552.stage.lithium.com/restapi/vc/threads/id/271?restapi.session_key=o6rfZfif_3AAOTKQxSxIRKjMYuTh5xXnug5s2Vzo290. 

 

But I'm getting the description body of only first messge and for others i just see messge id's with out any body. So for getting message description again i need to request with respective messge id's which is time consuming. 

 

So is there any API that will render all messages with  body description also for a particular thread requested.? Please do the needful.

 

 

Thanks,

Bhargav

    I found out from some developer communities that using "&restapi.format_detail=full_list_element" at the end fetched me all the messages with body under a thread with Version 1 API itself. Thanks for your support !!!

    Hi Bhargav1

     

    have you tried using LiQL for this?

     

    SELECT id,body FROM messages WHERE topic.id = '123'

    This would retrieve id and body of all the messages that are part of the topic with ID 123

     

    Hope it helps,

    Hi Bhargav1

     

    what you are using currently is our REST API v1. LiQL is a query language that you can use in REST API v2 calls. Have a look at the link I provide to gain an understanding on how to use this webservice. You can find plenty of walktroughs and code examples here as well , or by searching on the Developer Forum.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Hi PaoloT,

     

    It would be very helpful if you can give an example on how can i use that V2 LiQL queries in  REST  webservice calls. Say for example getting messgaes under a thread).
