Hi @RGJ

`contentId` is the post id and yes it is the correct post id.

With the following code, it logs,

```plaintext
      this.client.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
        Logger.log(`Request to ${config.url}`);
        Logger.log(`Headers: ${JSON.stringify(config.headers, null, 2)}`);
        Logger.log(`Body: ${JSON.stringify(config.data, null, 2)}`);
        return config;
      })

```

Log,

```plaintext
[Nest] 97134 - 12/02/2024, 4:10:29 PM LOG Request to post_actions.json
[Nest] 97134 - 12/02/2024, 4:10:29 PM LOG Headers: {
  "Accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*",
  "Api-Username": "m...91",
  "Api-Key": "66dc....18b56fbc17bcf"
}
[Nest] 97134 - 12/02/2024, 4:10:29 PM LOG Body: {
  "id": 84,
  "post_action_type_id": 2,
  "flag_topic": false
}
