Example Call

curl -X GET "https://huddlers-ovduv.ondigitalocean.app/thread?id=5c3e529bb75f165d822b468114e3bc928288ae5679e38849452e0389124a333b&depth=3&limit=5"

Notes

• If depth is not provided, it defaults to 2.

• Once the server collects as many events as are allowed by the limit constraint, it returns that set even though it may not have reached the maximum allowed depth. Similarly, once all replies up to the specified depth have been collected, the set is returned even if the limit has not been reached.

Error Responses

• 400 Bad Request: If the root event ID is missing or invalid.

• 404 Not Found: If the root event cannot be found.

• 500 Internal Server Error: If there's an issue processing the request.
