About this endpoint

GET /v1/flickr/groups/{groupId}/discussions/{topicId}/replies returns data.topic and a page of data.replies. Each reply carries id, message as HTML, author (id, alias, name, role and avatar), createdAt and lastEditAt. data.topic carries the topic subject and first message so you can show the thread context.

Get the topic id from the group discussions route. Use limit and page.nextCursor to walk the replies. A missing topic returns lookupStatus: not_found; a member-only group returns private.

Flickr Discussion Replies API FAQ

Where do I get the topic id?

From each row’s id in GET /v1/flickr/groups/{groupId}/discussions, or from the topic URL.

Does the first post appear in replies?

The first message is on data.topic. data.replies is the reply list, so render the topic first if you show the whole thread.

How much does a replies page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.

What does not_found mean here?

The group or topic does not exist, or the topic was deleted. A real topic with no replies returns found with an empty list.
