Re: How many API Calls per function?
MmalreI checked internally and here's some additional information. The answer to your question is: yes and no. We have LiQL, which is Lithium's query language, which can consolidate an entire thread, or youcan get each one as an individual API call. For example, fetch recently posted threadsretrieves the five most recently posted to threads across the community. <#assign apiVersion = “2.0”/> <#assign query = “SELECT id, body, subject, view_href, post_time, post_time_friendly, replies.count(*), kudos.sum(weight), author, board FROM messages WHERE depth=0 ORDER BY conversation.last_post_time DESC LIMIT 5" /> <#assign topics = rest(apiVersion, “/search?q=” + query?url).data.items![] /> <ul> <#list topics as message> <li><a href=“message.view_href”>message.subject</a> </#list> <ul> So, all of that’s basically a single API call. TheLiQL documentation should help some more: https://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=commv2&v2.main=liqlexamples#recentThreads335Views2likes4Comments
