Hi everyone, i need to get all and only topics of a particular category. So, according to the documentation, it seems the right way is to use the search.json end-point. The problem is i didn’t understand how to set the category filter. I did something like this: GET {{ _.base_url }}/search.json…

I’ve asked chat-gpt and he gave me a solution that works but it’s not documented anywhere :smiley: GET {{ _.base_url }}/search.json?q=category:magazzino-partner after:2023-12-05 If i use category tag it works!

You’re right; it’s a valid alternative and advanced filter! You still should encode the param; that was your issue (and might become another, depending on what you use). Here is a list of core advanced filters: in:bookmarks in:created in:mine in:likes in:watching in:tracking in:all-pms in:first i…

No need to use search functionality for this, just use the category topic list json like https://meta.discourse.org/c/dev/7.json

Yes, but in this way i can’t filter by date. Using search with “after” seems to be the solution for my use case.

Note that using after in search gives you the topics with activity after a certain date, not topics created after a certain date. This is the same as using the latest topic list and stopping when you get past your cutoff date.

Hi,

You need to encode the q param.

That is what you want to send: ?q=%23retail%20after%3A2023-12-05%20order%3Alatest_topic
