List community topics sorted by the chosen order. Returns up to 30 topics per page (50 for top/daily). Supports pagination via the page parameter (0-indexed). Each topic includes metadata such as title, view count, reply count, like count, tags, author, and timestamps. When category_id is provided, results are scoped to that category; category_id values appear in every topic record's category_id field.

About the Linux API

The Linux API on Parse exposes 1 endpoint for the publicly available data on linux.do. Calls return JSON over HTTPS and are billed per successful response.

Pin a release with the API-Snapshot-Version header so canonical updates don't silently change your contract.
