# MyAnimeList Forum Topic API

A forum topic with its posts, authors and dates, 50 posts per page.

`GET /v1/myanimelist/forum/topics/{id}` returns `data.topicId`, `data.title`, `data.board`, `data.isLocked`, `data.posts[]` and `page`. Each post has `id`, `number`, `author`, `authorUrl`, `postedAt`, `body` and `bodyHtml`. A page holds 50 posts and `page.nextCursor` continues the topic.

A missing topic returns `lookupStatus: not_found` with no posts. A locked topic still returns its posts; `isLocked` tells you whether new replies are closed.

## FAQ

### Where do I find a topic id?

A MyAnimeList forum URL carries the topic id, for example `/forum/?topicid=3`. Episode rows also expose `forumTopicId` when a discussion topic is linked.

### Is `number` the same as `id`?

No. `id` identifies the post and `number` is its position in the topic. The number can be null when none is returned.

### How many credits does this request 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.

### Can I read a locked topic?

Yes. `isLocked: true` means the topic is closed to new replies, not that it is hidden. The posts are still returned.
