I'd like to pull down the tkb structure and all the tkb's in it. I see that the tkbs are structured in parallel to categories and boards. But in the API they are asscoaited with it? And if I go throu...

    Hey nils-drews , the TKB's created within a category exist within the category itself with a different interaction style.

     

    The rest call is /CommunityName/restapi/vc/categories/id/CategoryID 

    If you use your CommunityName and the CategoryId (the word) in the call, the XML response is all of the objects within the category.

     

    You can append "/boards/style/tkb" onto the end to only get the TKB to return.

    TKB's have an interaction style of "TKB", and forums have "board".

    A TKB is just a board with a different style attached to it :)

     

    But the auto created TKB's seem to be different.

     

    They look like they live in a hidden category underneath the board.
    So you'll need to append "/boards/nested" onto the end.

     

    CommunityName/restapi/vc/categories/id/CategoryId/boards/nested

    And you can filter the XML for the interaction style "tkb"

     

    You can also just append @tkb onto the id of a board to get the associated TKB for it.

     

    So the calls for the recent threads in a board and it's TKB would be

    (Our board name is tablets)

     

    /restapi/vc/boards/id/tablets@tkb/threads/recent

    /restapi/vc/boards/id/tablets/threads/recent

Are you sure about this?

On the admin pages I see that there is a tkb here:

http://hilfe.o2online.de/restapi/vc/categories/id/DSL

But when I try to hit this like you described it I get only the boards that exist anyway? As you said they are hidden ... do I need some special super powers/permissions to hit that endpoint?
