Rest API for Kudos by Board Type

I am looking for a rest api call that will pull kudos given to a specific board type for the past day.  For example, I want to get the number of kudos from the past day from blogs, the number of kudos from the past day from Q&A boards, etc.  I am creating an endpoint that will create a response with these values, so if there is anyway to do this in freemarker that will work too :)  

 

So far, all I have seen are rest calls that will pull the number of kudos by board id.  Does the functionality for getting all kudos by board type already exist? If not, what is the best way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!

    I have contacted the Lithium support team and they have concluded that there is no way to get these results with one rest call.  So, here is what I ended up doing to fix my problem in case anyone else has a similar issue:

     

    Make a rest call to get all ids for the select discussion style:

         /restapi/vc/boards/style/qanda/nested

     

    Then, use those ids to make the below rest call and retrieve the kudos information:

         /restapi/vc/boards/id/BOARD_ID/metrics/name/kudos_events?date_start=2014-10-06&date_end=2014-10-07

     

    Feel free to ask questions if anyone has a similar issue.  Thanks for everyone's help!

      Thank you for the response.  This api would be perfect, but it does not accept a time parameter.  I only need the likes from the past day's time period:

       

       /restapi/vc/categories/id/[id] /kudos/style/style/count

       

      Do you know of any api call that is similar to this one, but takes a time arguement?

       

      Thanks agian for your help!
