How to retrieve from API only posts of specific user (by e-mail, username or id)

Dev

Hello,

I’ve been looking on following API documentation: https://docs.discourse.org/

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any endpoint that would allow me to retrieve only posts of a specific user - this is a hard requirement of feature I’m working in web app integrated with Discourse. I would like to retrieve them by e-mail address, but Discourse username or id would work for me.

Does API offer this functionality?

Have a great day,
Peter

Check the activity tab. It might help; but it depends on what you really need.

    Note: You can play with offset and limit
    Note: filter has those values:
