    Sorry, I wasn't clear at the beginning. Hot means hot by replies count.

    Looks like we can use /search/messages api and use ?sort_by=-replies

It largely depends on what is meant by "popular" or "hot". I typically recommend using the kudos leaderboards for this purpose. You can get the leaderboard at the community, category, and board levels:


In this case, the sorting is by number of Kudos received. However, you can specify the date range for which the kudos are counted, and you could sort after the fact if you still wanted them in order by date.
