Is it possible to fetch hot topics from subreddit from a specific time frame?

I'm currently fetching top posts in JSON format with code like this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sub/top.json?t=week

I would like to do similar with hot posts, but seems like it doesn't work, unless I'm missing something

You can use the /hot endpoint to get the hot posts for a subreddit. The /top endpoint allows you to specify a time period for the top posts, but the /hot endpoint does not have this option.

Here is an example URL that you can use to get the hot posts for a subreddit called sub:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sub/hot.json

Keep in mind that the /hot endpoint only returns the default set of hot posts for a subreddit, which is determined by Reddit's algorithm. If you want more control over the posts that are returned, you may want to use the /search endpoint instead. You can use the q query parameter to specify a search query, and the sort query parameter to specify how the results should be sorted (e.g. relevance, hot, top, etc.).

Here is an example URL that you can use to search for hot posts in a subreddit called sub:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sub/search.json?q=&sort=hot
