# Get n8n Community forum thread messages

Automatically get n8n Community forum thread messages on community.n8n.io. Read one n8n Community forum thread (community.n8n.io) by its id or url: the thread's title, category, tags, author, dates, views, likes, post count, closed and archived state and accepted answer, and its messages (posts) in thread order, 20 per page. Each message has its post number, url, author username and display name, creation and edit dates, the post it replies to, its like count, whether it is the accepted answer, and its text as Markdown (code blocks, links, images and quotes kept). Moderator actions (a thread closed, pinned, moved) are messages with an `action` code and no text. Pass `page` to read further: nextPage is null on the last page, and a page past the end returns no messages. A thread that does not exist, or is private or deleted, fails with a clear message.
