REST API GET Posts Parameter Request

[zbahadir]

I am developing a mobile app.
In addition to the REST API -> Get list of posts, the topic_id parameter is much needed.

I added myself to api / posts.php.

 

		/* Has best answer */
		if ( isset( \IPS\Request::i()->hasBestAnswer ) )
		{
			if ( \IPS\Request::i()->hasBestAnswer )
			{
				$where[] = array( "topic_answered_pid>0" );
			}
			else
			{
				$where[] = array( "topic_answered_pid=0" );
			}
		}

 		/* Topic ID */
		if ( isset( \IPS\Request::i()->topicid ) )
		{
			if ( \IPS\Request::i()->topicid )
			{
				$where[] = array( "topic_id=".\IPS\Request::i()->topicid );
			}
			else
			{
				$where[] = array( "topic_id=".\IPS\Request::i()->topicid );
			}
		}

		/* Archived */
		if ( isset( \IPS\Request::i()->archived ) )

Are you asking for a way to return posts belonging to a specific topic? If so, is there any reason you can't use GET api/topics/{topic-id}/posts ?

[zbahadir]

it worked with this method. ?
But some things are missing. For example I want to get post likes. 

I get this data with extra methods, but I want to get it with the API.

Thank you so much.

Anything else besides post likes?

(I'll be looking into REST API improvements for 4.4 so the more specifics you can provide, the more likely you are to see your requested changes incorporated ? )

Thank you very much for your interest.
I will have some suggestions. I will make a list.

• posts like/unlike
• posts image and file upload api
• members upload coverPhoto and photo/avatar upload api

 

 

For example. For Forums: response parent_id can be added.I added this:

applications / forums / api / forums.php:

   public function GETindex ()
   {
     / * Init * /
     $ where = array ();

     if (isset (\ IPS \ Request :: i () -> parent))
     {
       if (\ IPS \ Request :: i () -> parent)
       {
         $ where [] = array ("parent_id =". \ IPS \ Request :: i () -> parent);
       }
       else
       {
         $ where [] = array ("parent_id =". \ IPS \ Request :: i () -> parent);
       }
     }

     / * Return new * /
     return $ this -> _ list ($ where, 'forums');

   }

 

and response likes total for post

	public function apiOutput( \IPS\Member $authorizedMember = NULL )
	{
		$idColumn = static::$databaseColumnId;
		$itemColumn = static::$databaseColumnMap['item'];
		return array(
			'id'		=> $this->$idColumn,
			'item_id'	=> $this->$itemColumn,
			'author'	=> $this->author()->apiOutput( $authorizedMember ),
			'date'		=> \IPS\DateTime::ts( $this->mapped('date') )->rfc3339(),
			'content'	=> $this->content(),
			'hidden'	=> (bool) $this->hidden(),
			'url'		=> (string) $this->url(),
			'likes'     => \IPS\Db::i()->select( 'COUNT(*)', 'core_reputation_index', array( 'type_id=?', (int) $this->$itemColumn ) )->first(),
		);
	}

 

I will prepare the missing ones for a mobile application.

Best Regards
