REST API "/posts" and "/posts/style/all/count"

I'm trying to pull all posts from a given user. The "/posts/style/all/count" API call is return 51 yet the "/posts/latest/index" only returns message up to index 48. It appear the count is off by 2. ...

Hi Scott,

 

Out of curiosity, are you performing this call anonymously or with a standard user account that is used for rest api? If so, some posts may be hidden if the user had made a post in a private area or had one of their posts moved to a deleted posts board (or something of that nature). This may not be the case, but I thought I'd mention it. If not, please feel free to open up a support ticket (Support Category - select the Cases tab) and we can retrieve further information and investigate what the problem might be.

 

Regards,

I'm making the API calls from a custom component. When calling from a custom component do I need a special user?

    If you would like to make the REST API call with all the permissions, you may use the "restadmin" object instead of the "rest" object. Please keep in mind that this makes the REST call with admin privileges, so be careful about the calls being made, so as not to open up your community to security vulnerabilities.

     

    Hope that helps!
