Get number of likes for a single post?

#1

Hello,
I’m trying to get the number of likes for a single post via the API, but can’t seem to find it…

I see a like_count for the entire topic, but can’t seem to find the individual like count for each post in either /t/123.json or /posts/222.json.

I noticed that I can get a list of users who liked a post via /post_action_users.json and add them up manually, but what is the recommended way to to get the “like count” for an individual post?

Thanks!

I’m an idiot!
Found it under "actions_summary":

{"id":2,"count":5,"acted":true}

Well, hope this helps someone else!
