Vanilla API retrieve post from Category

Rainulf

I went to the documentation (http://vanillaforums.org/docs/api), but there doesn't seem much. Basically, what I wanna do is retrieve posts from a specific category.

Since it's restful, I thought something like this is possible: http://vanillaforums.org/discussions.xml/categories/feedback but seems not.

you're doing it wrong lol

http://vanillaforums.org/categories.xml/featured

restful it doesn't matter the type of resource you access it the same way.

which is why syndication is kind of an exception

http://vanillaforums.org/categories/featured/feed.rss

but whatever....

Awesome, thanks!

lol It would greatly help if the documentation was a bit descriptive..

true

just a heads up

for all categories use
http://vanillaforums.org/categories.xml/all

http://vanillaforums.org/categories.xml just fetches the root.

Rainulf

I don't think it fetches anything right now

You're doing it wrong too. To fetch the root, you do http://vanillaforums.org/categories.xml/root instead

ah that has changed, it used to fetch the root.
