Fetching articles from a specific help center using API

I’m fetching articles from Intercom using the API. 
In the case where multiple help centers are present, how do I fetch the articles from only a specific help center and not all articles? 
Alternatively, I am also open to fetching all articles but filtering them on the basis of help center. 
How can I do this using the API?

Hi there,

Afaik the cleanest way is via collections, since each collection belongs to one help center:

  • GET /help_centers/{id}/collections :lists collections for that help center

  • GET /collections/{id}/articles : fetches articles in those collections

Alternatively, you could try fetching all articles (GET /articles) and filter by collection IDs that belong to your target help center.

Hope that helps!
