how to grab only the latest blog post

Question

I able to find the lat blogpost using:

posts = confluence.get_all_pages_from_space( config.atlassianSpace,  content_type='blogpost',  start=0,  limit=99999999, expand='version' )

I've tried changing start, limits to the likes of (-1).

Is there an existing method to just get the latest post?

hum am I not an API pro user I have to admit :D  
But I guess by using the command get content, specify the type blog, limit it to one, could work, or using the search command, writing the cql so you specify also the type, limit it to 1 and since it's a cql comment you can order it by last created, i think it should work even better.

Thanks!

Is that macro and ordering available via the api?

Hello Erik,

I'm not sure where you want to display this but if it's in a Confluence page, you can simply use the macro blogpost, display only one blog post and order by creation date.

Is your use case different?
