Ordering by (-) topicKudos doens't seem to work.. (querying search/messages). Errocode = 100. Can you please elaborate?

Actually, its topicKudosCount 

On the other hand, how or by what criteria are you trying to sort the messages?

    I was trying to get the most popular topics in the last X days. Popular in this case meaning most views, as most reactions can be abused and most kudos isn't usefull because kudos aren't used often by our forum users.

     

    I've came up with the following link to use, which seems to work good:
    ..restapi/vc/search/messages?q=(is_root:true%20AND%20date%3A%5B1398089232%20TO%201400681242%5D)&sort_by=-topicViews&collapse_discussion=true

     

    The datefilter is used to get topics not more than 1 month old.

     

    Any further suggestions on this query?

     

    Overall I'm missing documentation on the query and sort possibilities. Only by searching these forums I've found the "is_root:true", date-filter and possible sortyBy values... Too bad!
