I didn’t test it myself, but after reading the code, I think the format of the JSON should be similar to this:

```json
  {
    "topics": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "title": "The title",
        "pinned": false,
        "posts": [
          {
            "id": 2,
            "body": "The body",
            "date": "The date",
            "author": "username"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }

```
