Hi everyone, In case of a 3rd party integration when I send a search request to the API endpoint , I get back post and topic properties such as ID, title, author, etc. My question is: what’s the “correct” way to construct a web accessible URL for a post or a topic? Taking a look to the share links…

[image] balazswmann: what’s the “correct” way to construct a web accessible URL for a post or a topic? domain/t/topic_id/post_id works and will issue a redirect to the canonical URL.

@Falco I see, thank you for the info! That will be perfect I think.

[image] Falco: domain/t/topic_id/post_id I often see domain/t/-/topic_id/post_id. Is one preferred?
