# Get n8n Community forum category threads

Automatically get n8n Community forum category threads on community.n8n.io. List the threads (topics) of one n8n Community forum category (community.n8n.io), one page at a time, with the forum's own sorts: latest, hot, or top over a period, optionally ordered by a column (views, posts, likes, created, activity) and filtered by a tag. A parent category also lists its subcategories' threads, each with its own categoryId. Returns per thread its id, title, url, categoryId, author, last poster, creation and last post dates, post count (the opening post included), views, likes, tags, pinned, closed, archived, whether it has an accepted answer, and the excerpt the forum shows (pinned threads only). Pages hold 30 threads (50 for top); nextPage is null on the last page, and a page past the end returns no threads. Pass a thread's id or url to community.n8n.io/get_thread_messages to read it. An unknown category or tag fails with a clear message: get category ids from community.n8n.io/list_categories.

```

## Input

- `category` (string, required): The category's id ("15"), its url (https://community.n8n.io/c/built-with-n8n/15) or its slug path ("built-with-n8n", "feature-requests/nodes"), as community.n8n.io/list_categories returns them.
- `tag` (string, optional): Only threads with this tag, e.g. "ai".
- `page` (integer, optional)
- `sort` (string, optional): latest: most recent activity first, pinned threads at the top. hot: trending now. top: most active over `period`.
- `order` (string, optional): Order the list by this column instead of the sort's own order, as clicking a column header does.
- `period` (string, optional): Time window of the top sort. Ignored by the other sorts.
- `ascending` (boolean, optional): With `order`: smallest first.
