Thanks. This will get me list of all posts for a particular topic.
**My goal** : Get a latest post for each topic from a certain category.
**Pros** : I can get required solution to satisfy my solution.
**Cons** : Due to multiple API calls for each topic, user experience will get deteriorated by a measurable factor.
_Do you have any suggestion or approach to satisfy my above goal ?_

You probably want to setup a webhook if your goal is to find out when someone posts to a topic. A webhook can trigger on a new topic creation, new post, or when a new user was created. A webhook will send you a POST request to a specified endpoint that you setup so it will be significantly less api calls.
