(API Question) get users post history

[ByronAP]

what is the best way to get a users post history from the api?

[theoreticalbts]

get_account_history, then filter by posts.

[ByronAP]

thank you, could you explain what the "from" field actually is? It doesn't seem to relate to block numbers or anything that I can see

locked >>> gethelp get_account_history
gethelp get_account_history

Account operations have sequence numbers from 0 to N where N is the most
recent operation. This method returns operations in the range [from-limit,
from]

Parameters:
    account: - account whose history will be returned (type: string)
    from: - the absolute sequence number, -1 means most recent, limit is
        the number of operations before from. (type: uint32_t)
    limit: - the maximum number of items that can be queried (0 to 1000],
        must be less than from (type: uint32_t)

For example,

• get_account_history your_account -1 10 will return the latest 10 records,
• get_account_history your_account 100 10 will return the No.91 - No.100 records.

gethelp command in CLI is your friend, you need to build with doxygen installed (apt-get install doxygen)
