Help to get recent posts through api

[xiaoxin]

Hello , I have a situation :
We disallow the guset user to access the categories including the find , access and read privileges , so user must to login to see the posts and we can keep the forum private.

But , we want to get the recent posts through the /api/recent , and show these informations in another web site (the users are also the register-users in the forum), and in this case , the api return nothing .

I'm wondering if there is a solution to this case , thank you !

Yes, you should install the write-api plugin. Although this exposes a set of write-enabled endpoints, it also uses its own authentication, and extends this to cover the read-only endpoints.

So with that plugin, you can give an admin user a user token, and then you can GET /recent with the user token in the Authorization header.

can you limit the # of recent posts to get via param, say if you only want 2 of the most recent?
