API To Fetch Topics From Community With No Response

Hey, Sean!
 
Unfortunately the Topics API does not provide a list of posts made to a given topic. One possible way you could go about this is by pulling a list of posts and filtering those from the last 7 days, then comparing the topic IDs of the posts to a list of topics from your community instance. Here’s a basic example using Javascript in the context of the Zendesk Apps framework:
 

const getTopics = async () => {
    // gets date from seven days ago
    const sevenDaysAgo = new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString().split('T')[0];

    // gets community topics
    const topicsData = await client.request("/api/v2/community/topics");
    
    // gets posts not older than seven days
    const postsData = await client.request(
        `/api/v2/help_center/community_posts/search?query=""&created_after=${sevenDaysAgo}`
    );

    // stores topic IDs
    let recentTopics = [];
    let topicsWithReplies = [];

    // Checks for and stores topics that are equal to or less than seven days old
    topicsData.topics.map((topic) => {
        const createdAt = new Date(topic.created_at);
        if (createdAt >= new Date(sevenDaysAgo)) {
            recentTopics.push(topic.id);
        }
    });

    // Checks if posts have been made in topics retrieved above
    postsData.results.map((post) => {
        if(recentTopics.includes(post.topic_id)){
            topicsWithReplies.push(post.topic_id)
        }
    });
    
    // Print results to console
    console.log(topicsWithReplies);
};

getTopics();
