Hello

I tried to use APIs to get last n posts using

```plaintext
uri = URI('https://mydomain.com/forum/latest.json?ascending=false')

```

however, I noticed the following:

- could not have the URL of each post
- could not strict result to last n posts.
- how to restrict returned fields ? ex: I am getting all details currently.

Any idea ?
