Recent Messages for multiple boards - REST api's

Hi,

 

I've been looking through the knowledge base and REST api documentation, and i want to check if what i want to do is possible with only a single API call:

 

To get the most recent messages for only certain boards, in a single call. I've found the threads/recent under boards, however this only seems to give a single board at a time. I thought there might be a way to specify multiple boards in this call, but I cant seem to get it to work, if its even possible at all?

 

I also found a threads/recent for community, however this returns accross all boards, and becuase some of our boards are hidden, i  dont want to return everything.

 

I could of course call the cummunity version and then filter out the boards I dont want, but i want to check there is not something that will give a direct result before heading down this path.

 

does anyone know if this is possible?

 

thanks for your help

    Are the boards you want to filter by grouped by category? If so, you there's a "topics" method on the Category class. For example:

    /categories/id/generaltest/topics

      thanks Adam, I dont think they will be.

       

      I think the answer i'm looking for lies in setting up a custom endpoint. I have been given access to do this and can find it in the admin site we have, i just need to find some documentation on here about how to actually do it.

       

      thanks
