Hi Simon,

Using the `?page=1` parameter with the [Get a single topic endpoint](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Topics/operation/getTopic) will return the first 20 posts from a topic, and each subsequent page number will return up to 20 posts.

When there are no most posts available (EX: the page is too high and not valid), you’ll get a 404 response.

If you don’t specify a page number, the code will set a page number of 1, so `?page=1` is the same as not appending an explicit page to the topic request.

If you wanted to use this method to fetch all posts from a topic, you should be able to do so, even though it is not mentioned within the [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/).
