    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?

Hi again Naresh,

 

As far as I know, there isn't currently a way to query by date range using the API, slightly more on that here..  A few ways to accomplish what you are trying to do would to be to run the job daily and use the post date in the response XML to determine if the entry should go into the repository. 

 

An alternative for the purpose you described would be to use the Event Subsription API.

 

Hope this is useful!

Thanks scott for your suggestions.

 

We may go with the idea of checking the duplicate data from the response with the available repository.

This should be fine.
