  You can fetch each page in json format by appending ?DeliveryMethod=JSON at the end of the url. You wouldn't need the complete page, so you should also add &DeliveryType=VIEW like that https://vanillaforums.org/discussions?DeliveryMethod=JSON&DeliveryType=VIEW

  Keep in mind you can limit the number of discussions you load that way.

  I would suggest using Latest Post List and loading the module via js as the default view includes the options and meta list.

  The discussions view is sorted by latest first. So the latest 3 discussions.
