Hello!

I’m trying to ascertain a similar thing for a Discourse forum my company uses: [https://discuss.blues.io](https://discuss.blues.io)

I have staff level credentials, however, when I look at the JSON payload for posts that have been liked, I don’t see any indication of it either in the `actions_summary` or the `post_action_users` JSON payloads.

For example, [this post](https://discuss.blues.io/t/what-antenna-types-are-supported-by-notecard/31/) has lots of replies and likes, but when I query it in the browser [https://discuss.blues.io/post\_action\_users.json?id=31&post\_action\_type\_id=2](https://discuss.blues.io/post_action_users.json?id=31&post_action_type_id=2), I get back `{"post_action_users":[]}`

Perhaps the API has changed? Or I’m querying for the wrong thing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

And a follow up question: is there a webhook I could potentially set up to be notified when a user likes a post identifying the user and the post? We’d like to capture this info for analytics purposes.

Thanks!
