So, when we get a post like so:

```plaintext
GET /posts/13.json

```

We can see in the json `actions_summary` which contains the number of likes the post has. And you can deduce if the user I am logged in as has liked if “acted” or “can\_act” is present.

```plaintext
"actions_summary": [
          {
            "id": 2,
            "count": 2,
            "acted": true
          },

```

But, how do I lookup which users liked the post? We have 2 likes here, one is mine since “acted” is true. But there is one other like. How do I find out which user that is through the API? It is fine if we have to use an admin account to check.
