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!
