Latest posts on external site?

I'd like to display the latest, say, 10 posts on my forum on my main website in a snippet, is this possible? I'll be using PHP for my main site.

I've implemented something alike recently in PHP. Using the api library I wrote a while back and doing a simple call on the discussions endpoint.

$api = new \Flagrow\Flarum\Api\Flarum('https://discuss.flarum.org');
/** @var \Flagrow\Flarum\Api\Resource\Collection $collection */
$collection = $api->discussions()->request();

$discussions = $collection->collect();

These are automatically sorted by newest first.

If you're looking for an embeddable piece of code, I have to disappoint you because I haven't seen something like that yet.

luceos So, using the api library you were able to get the posts to show on a separate page on the website?

elvisish yes:

Part of the design of a hosting service that is to be released in the coming period.

luceos that looks really cool! so, what kind of work would be required to get an embeddable bit of php to place in a page that could pull these in?

Hello,

I think about another solution : use the Syndication extension ( https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4395-syndication-extension-rss-atom-feeds ) and then use a feed reader on your website ❓

I used this a lot in the past with some community projects ?

Could you use the php in an iframe to display the content?

Bumping this topic.

Have someone working solution with an example for newbies?

I'm looking to add the latest Flarum discussions to an external website (for example in the frontpage).

EvelinaAdamovi the API library solution should still work.

There's also this example in vanilla PHP https://discuss.flarum.org/d/11674-vanilla-php-helper-to-load-discussions-from-flarum-api
