How to get non-reply posts for a fixed list of hashtags?

[nileshtrivedi]

I am trying to use hashtags to simulate Slack's channels. While there's an API get a list of trending tags, I need to build a page (in Elk) showing 10+ posts under each of the hashtag from a list curated by the admin. How can this be achieved?

Please see this for some additional context.

Hello @nileshtrivedi. We have a /timeline API to look for posts containing a specific hashtag.

I hope this helps

Thanks @neet . So if i want to show 5 posts for each of the 30 hashtags on the same page, I would have to make 30 calls to /timeline? This could be problematic.
