get_post

Read one post.

This action only reads. It changes nothing, so it is safe to try.

What you give it

Call it

curl -X POST https://api.heyreagent.com/v1/actions/get_post \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"post":"PASTE_POST_LINK_HERE"}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.heyreagent.com/v1/actions/get_post", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY",
    "content-type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "post": "PASTE_POST_LINK_HERE"
  }),
});
const answer = await response.json();
console.log(answer);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.heyreagent.com/v1/actions/get_post",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"},
    json={
        "post": "PASTE_POST_LINK_HERE",
    },
)
print(response.json())

{
  "post": "PASTE_POST_LINK_HERE"
}

Put your own key where it says YOUR_KEY. Put your own value where it says PASTE_…_HERE: the table above says where each one comes from. New here? Start with your first call.

What you get back

When it worked, the answer is { "ok": true, "result": { … } }. Inside result:

A field that does not apply to an answer is left out, or is null. There are 110 more fields nested inside these.

When it did not work, the answer is { "ok": false, "error": "…", "message": "…" }. What each error means.

Good to know

• This is how a post link becomes a socialId.
• author.id is null for some authors (the published sample shows it for a company page).
• permissions.canPostComments and permissions.canReact say whether a comment or a reaction will be accepted.
