API to get list of posts and media uploads for the Group

Hi Vitaly,

Yes this should be possible. Assuming you want to do this on a different website (not on the community website itself, if you want to get this on the community website there are better ways to do it) then you should take a look at the Rest API (https://community.telligent.com/community/10/w/api-documentation/61380/rest-api-documentation).

You can use the Media List API (using the first URL that takes a Group Id) to get a list of the media uploads in a group: https://community.telligent.com/community/10/w/api-documentation/61607/list-media-rest-endpoint

What do you mean by Community posts?

There is some documentation on using the REST API here: https://community.telligent.com/community/10/w/developer-training/53137/rest-api, you will need to look at the Authentication and making requests sections at least, but would recommend reading the whole thing.

Hope this helps,
Rhys

Thanks Rhys.

We already found following API endpoints in documentation and we'll give a shot to see if that's what we need:

1. https://community.telligent.com/community/10/w/api-documentation/61607/list-media-rest-endpoint 

GET api.ashx/v2/groups/{groupid}/media/files.json

2. https://community.telligent.com/community/10/w/api-documentation/61546/list-forum-thread-rest-endpoint 

GET api.ashx/v2/groups/{groupid}/forums/threads.xml.json

I'll post an update after our research.

Thanks, Vitaliy.

Regarding "Community Posts". If you mean threads, what you have will work. But it won't cover thread replies, which is a separate REST endpoint, nor any of the the other types of community content.

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, you may find the activity story API useful, which returns the same data that can be rendered in the activity stream. This has the benefit of not requiring you to query all the different endpoints for different content. However, it 1) isn't guaranteed to include everything since users can disable stories for their activity, 2) isn't guaranteed to be in chronological order since it attempts to bump up important content and 3) groups multiple actions into single stories, such as a single story for new/recent thread replies to a single thread, or single story for multiple comments added to a single blog post.

Thank you, Michael.

Yes, I was taking about list of threads w/o replies.

Not sure that story API will work in our case, as we need to pull the feed from particular group, not the whole Community and I don't see this possible with story API. 

Vitaliy.
