Hi,

Is there any way to access a blog's theme information through a specific endpoint?

For example, I discovered that querying the /posts endpoint yields an array of posts that sometimes contain the trail field, which in turn contains a blog object that has rich information about the theme (which I currently need for my application). 

An example screenshot of the trail array is below (note the theme object):



Ideally the theme information would be in the /info endpoint for a blog, but unfortunately isn't. Is there another way of accessing a blog's theme information directly given a blog name?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback! We actually did not intend to return the theme info in the trail. Its inclusion in the trail is real the bug here, unfortunately.

That said, we'll look into this a bit more, and see if we can schedule some work around themes for a future update to the API.

Regards,
Mike Ceyko

Hello again!

It's been a while, but has there been any progress on exposing this blog theme information in the API at all?

I've recently picked up my app again and I forgot that I had dropped the project due to the lack of this feature in the API :(
