How to get the various ids needed for API calls?

Question

I'm trying to get all the data (discussion posts, forums, forum replies, etc.) from a communities system that uses Verint and then insert the data into a communities table in ServiceNow. I'm new to development with Verint and with APIs in general. Endpoints identified in the API documentation frequently need parameters to define the search. Let's say I want to GET a Forum Reply using the API, it requires fields such as "forumid" and "replyid". How do I find these ids? For example, If I inspect the HTML elements of a communities page, I don't see any tags like "replyid" surrounding the replies to a forum post.

I would highly siggest becoming more familiar with programming against Apis before attempting this. Generally the Ids are coming from another API call such as listing the content items.
