For example, if I want to get Posts, I can use filter=5 /user_actions.json?offset=0&username=USERNAME&fi…

[صورة] JimPas: That’s correct. All topics have a first post as part of the topic creation. One couldn’t very well create a topic with only a topic header. That first post isn’t counted as a post (reply) in a post query (filter-5). @JimPas , thank you for your help. It is very useful. With t…
