Posts by ID

Route Name

Posts by ID

Route URL

/api/posts/:ids

Description & Usage

This route allows you to retrieve data about posts by specifying their IDs. Replace :ids in the URL with a semicolon-delimited list of metasmoke post IDs, and all database fields on each post object will be returned.

You can use the per_page query string parameter to adjust how many results you get, up to a maximum of 100.

The has_more field in the response indicates if there are more results available than have been returned in this result set; use the page query string parameter to get the next page of results. ?page=1 will return the first page; ?page=2 the second, and so on.

Example

Request:

HTTP/1.1 GET /api/posts/20191;20192
