Hi,

Is there an .json endpoint that allows me to request an arbitrary collection of posts by id? I’m talking posts here, not topics.

For example `posts.json?id=2,9,40,388,...` etc etc.

Been looking through the code but couldn’t find it…

(It’s important that the response contains the full post bodies, so not only excerpts)
