GET /api/boards/{BoardID}/board

Returns Board items for the specified Board, in the form of a JSON or XML object.

Note: There are two operations with essentially the same signature that return the same data in different formats, depending on the Accept header you use. GET /api/boards/{BoardID}/board with JSON or XML headers returns an RSS feed, and GET /api/boards/{BoardID}/board (this operation) with vendor-specific JSON or XML headers returns the information in the form of a JSON or XML object.

Authorization Roles/Permissions: Must be logged in and have permission to view the requested resources. If the user is logged in but doesn't have permission to view certain resources, the operation works, but limited (or empty) results are returned. For more information about how authorization and visibility work for Board operations, see Boards in the Community Manager developer portal.
