Wix Forum allows site owners and members to create and manage forum posts. The posts can be organized in categories.

Post A post written by a site member.
Posts can be pinned (set to always appear at the top of a forum page), moved (to a new category), liked/unliked (to show approval, or not), and closed/opened (for replies). These actions happen in the site only, but third parties using the API can be notified of them via webhooks.
-
Category A logical group that the site member assigns their post(s) to in the forum.
-
Draft Post A pending post written by a site member used for post moderation.
Draft posts can be approved (they are posted to the forum) or deleted.
The Forum API allows developers to reuse forum content in a modular fashion.
Example:
- Set up an automated feed of new posts and sub-forums based on news, events, or other topics so that members and admins don't have to do it manually:
- Decide criteria for selecting forum posts to display, e.g. based on keywords or listing all categories, and retrieve these categories using the Query Categories endpoint.
- Consume the Post Created Webhook to get all new posts.
- Filter the new posts by their
categoryId
, or by keywords found incontentText
, and link back to them usingurl
andtitle
to create links.
