> So how can I find all the deleted posts via the API?

I don’t think this is possible. Maybe if you post some details about why you are trying to find deleted posts via the API someone will have ideas about alternate ways of approaching the problem you’re trying to solve.

One possibility is that you could configure a Post Event webhook to point to an external service. That webhook will be fired when a post is created, edited, deleted, or recovered. Possibly that webhook would give you the information you need.
