REST API : multiple parameters
I wish to know if it's possible to do something like that :
/restapi/vc/categories/id/1,2
=> returns categorie 1 and categorie 2
Thanks in advance,
Sylvain

- It is not possible to pass multiple category ids to the categories REST call. If those categories are contained in a parent category, you could get all categories within that parent category with a REST call.
Say the parent category was 3, you would call restapi/vc/categories/id/3/categories (or restapi/vc/categories/id/3/categories/nested to include categories in sub-categories of category 3).
You can call /restapi/vc/categories/nested to get every category in the community (that the caller has access to view). i do a search like search/messages/?q=test
in the xml result, the <board> is not developped i need to do a second rest api call for getting the content of board element. There is an option for getting the content of the board in only one call ?
What information about the board are you looking for?
If you are just looking for the URL to the board then you can get that by including the restapi.response_style=view query parameter in you REST call (from the view_href attribute on the board node which gets added when you add the restapi.response_style=view query parameter to your REST call).
Otherwise you are going to have to make a separate call to get the board info you need (using the href attribute).
yes but i wish to limiting the api calls. i need to get the title of the board
- We do have some functionality called "endpoints" that you might want to look into as a way to create a custom call that can combine REST calls to get you the response that you needs in a single request. This post has more information:

Open a ticket with support if you would like to turn endpoints on.
