is there any way i can get similar topics based on a query?  
I have tried using /search.json but it only returns topic title and not raw body and other information like we get on the webpage.

I searched docs but can’t get any such endpoint. please help if there is any way I can find similar topics along with title and body. thanks

Hi @Devarsh_Mavani .

Some endpoints you need to figure out using the browser’s developer tools and watching the network activity.

For similar topics, it seems simple GET endpoint with a query (`similar_topics.json?title=`)

This is what I found:

```plaintext
https://meta.discourse.com/similar_topics.json?title=similar%20topics%20based%20on%20text%20query

```
