    Hi Naresh,

     

    If you mean that you also want to receive the body of the post in addtion to the subject line, you can add this parameter to the end of your current call.

     

    ?restapi.format_detail=full_list_element.

     

    If you want a topic and all its responses, you'll want to make a different call.  For example, this discussion: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/lithium/restapi/vc/threads/id/56362

     

    Does that help?

     

    Scott

Hi Scott,

 

https://www.paypal-community.com/ppl/restapi/vc/categories/id/US/posts/recent?restapi.format_detail=full_list_element

 

When I hit this link, its giving me the recent post(comments) from the forum. Is there anyway, so that I can get the posts for a particular day ?

We need this, becuase,i am trying to automate(schedule) my job, so that it fetches all the comments in a day and store it in our file system for further processing and i can run again for the next day and so on. If I use the above link, but i am not sure 'recent" means when the new data will get updated or is there any timeframe set to update the data ?

 

Please let me know, if you need more details.

 

Thanks,

Naresh
