Getting a list of recent messages via API
I am having some difficulty in getting a list of recent messages via the API. I located a post in these forums that showed me the following URL: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/lithium/restapi/vc...
Forum Discussion
How far back in time will the recent method return posts? I see that using the page and page_size parameter will allow me to page through recent posts. Is there a limit on how far back I can page through?
Hi aitchon,
Hypothetically, you should be able to go back as far as you want with the recent call if you set your page number and page_size parameters large enough to pull posts all the way back to the beginning of your community. With that said comes a caveat that if your rest calls are too ambitious, it may put strain on your production server.
Regards,
Ricky
