Here's sample code that shows how you can call Talkyard's API to list posts and comments, most recent first. It's from automated e2e tests:

The request

Authentication, see: Talkyard API authentication

How to call the List API, see listPostsImpl():
https://github.com/debiki/talkyard/blob/f2c0a8e46b1065717a9a6645c72f905007816230/tests/e2e/specs/api-list-query-for-posts.test.ts#L112

which makes use of listQuery():
https://github.com/debiki/talkyard/blob/f2c0a8e46b1065717a9a6645c72f905007816230/tests/api/server.ts#L541

Payload JSON, see interface ListQuery:
https://github.com/debiki/talkyard/blob/f2c0a8e46b1065717a9a6645c72f905007816230/tests/e2e-wdio7/pub-api.ts#L825

The response

Response of type ListQueryResults:
https://github.com/debiki/talkyard/blob/f2c0a8e46b1065717a9a6645c72f905007816230/tests/e2e-wdio7/pub-api.ts#L879

which lists posts, type PostListed:
https://github.com/debiki/talkyard/blob/f2c0a8e46b1065717a9a6645c72f905007816230/tests/e2e-wdio7/pub-api.ts#L359

(This should be rewritten to proper API docs, some time later. I hope it's better than nothing, for now.)
