Query Post
The Social SDK product includes a powerful Posts Query method that allows users to search for and retrieve posts that match specific criteria. This functionality is useful for a variety of use cases and provides a flexible and customizable approach to managing and displaying content in your app. Furthermore, the result of the method will always return as Live collection.
Use-case Examples
Posts Query API can be useful for the use cases that require flattening the search and results. For example:
All posts in a community or user feed
Media gallery that shows the list of all images, posted by a user
List of all the text posts that are deleted in a community

Additionally, it excludes all deleted posts (both soft and hard deleted posts) not owned by the logged-in user. Community moderators have visibility of soft-deleted posts in the community feed, while self-users can see their own soft-deleted posts in their user feed.sortBy- When it is set to "lastCreated", the most recently created posts will appear at the top of the result.
