Retrieve Topic List

/services/v2/topic.json

• You must have the View users list permission under Anonymous Roles in the Advanced Editor.

• You can use the sort request parameter to specify which of the sorting and ordering criteria you want to use.

  • An invalid sorting name will cause the request to reset to the default criteria.
• With the includeOnly parameter set to id and name (/services/v2/topic.json?includeOnly=id,name) to the AnswerHub REST API.
• We added this request in version 1.6.3.

Sample Request

curl 
-u answerhub:test123 
-H "Accept: application/json" 
-H "Content-type: application/json" 
-X GET "https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com/services/v2/topic.json"

Note, we used the parameter pageSize=1 to decrease the size of the response. Without this parameter, the response will display a page long list of topics. Moving to a different page in the response requires you to resend the response with the parameter page=n at the end with n being the desired page number.
