Trending Topics Visualforce

So i created a custom visualforce page on Chatter Feeds, but it does not come with the trending topics. Is it possible to retrieve the trending topics? I don't mind creating a SOQL for it, but just need some direction on how to retrieve the topics.

 

Thanks

You can use one of the ConnectApi.Topics.getTrendingTopics() Apex methods to retrieve the list of trending topics:

By any chance you can guide me on how to use this? This is my first time seeing this and not sure how it works.

Thank

So far i have create a method in my class with this:

 

global List <ConnectApi.Topic> getTopics(){
return null;
}

 

and unfortunately im getting a Invalid Type.

 

Also if I did this:

public static ConnectApi.TopicPage getTrendingTopics(communityId);

 

I get a unexpected token: ')'

Instead of

getTrendingTopics(communityId)

you need to add the namespace and class:

ConnectApi.Topics.getTrendingTopics(communityId)

By the way, I forgot to mention that this Apex method requires v29.0 of the API. This corresponds to Winter '14, which is currently being rolled out. Your Salesforce instance may not be on Winter '14 yet. You can check to see when you'll be getting Winter '14 on this page:
