`react_to_post`

React to one post, or to one comment on it.

This action can change or spend something, and when it does it happens right away. Read “Good to know” first.

What you give it

Input	What it is	Where to get it
`postUrl` needed	A post link or a post social id. The LinkedIn post URL.	On LinkedIn, click the More icon (the three dots) at the top right of the post, then "Copy link to post". Or run `search_posts` and use `posts[].url` from its answer. 9 more places to get it `search_posts` → `posts[].socialId` `search_linkedin_posts` → `results[].shareUrl` `get_recent_posts` → `posts[].url` `search_linkedin_posts` → `results[].socialId` `get_profile` → `recentPosts[].url` `get_post` → `shareUrl` `list_posts_by_author` → `posts[].shareUrl` `get_post` → `socialId` `list_posts_by_author` → `posts[].socialId`
`reaction` optional	One of: like, celebrate, support, love, insightful, funny. Which reaction to add (default like).	You write it.
`commentId` optional	A comment id. React to this comment on the post instead of the post itself (its id from list_post_comments).	Run `list_post_comments` and use `comments[].id` from its answer. 2 more places to get it `list_comments_by_person` → `comments[].id` `comment_on_post` → `commentId`
`asOrganization` optional	A organization id. Act as a company page you administer instead of yourself: that page's numeric id. No action here lists the pages you administer.	No action here gives it.
`connectionId` optional	A connection id. Which of your LinkedIn accounts to act from (its id from list_linkedin_accounts). Omit to use your first live one.	Run `list_linkedin_accounts` and use `accounts[].id` from its answer. 15 more places to get it `get_my_profile` → `accounts[].connectionId` `list_connections` → `connections[].connectionId` `list_connections` → `summary.accounts[].connectionId` `list_sent_invitations` → `pendingInvitations[].connectionId` `preview_withdraw_invitations` → `breakdown[].linkedinConnectionId` `list_conversations` → `inbox[].linkedinConnectionId` `list_inmail` → `inmail[].connectionId` `get_inmail_credits` → `accounts[].connectionId` `list_sales_navigator_contracts` → `accounts[].connectionId` `who_is_waiting_on_me` → `waitingOnYou[].connectionId` `who_went_cold` → `coldConversations[].connectionId` `connections_never_messaged` → `summary.accounts[].connectionId` `get_usage` → `connectionId` `get_conversation` → `connectionId` `get_inmail_conversation` → `connectionId`

Call it

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

The same call in JavaScript

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

The same call in Python

import requests

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

The same call in n8n

Add an HTTP Request node and fill it in like this:

Method	`POST`
URL	`https://api.heyreagent.com/v1/actions/react_to_post`
Send Headers	On. Name `Authorization`, Value `Bearer YOUR_KEY`
Send Body	On. Body Content Type `JSON`, Specify Body `Using JSON`, then paste the body below

{
  "postUrl": "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:

`sent`
`postUrl`
`reaction`
`from`	the account it ran on
`usedToday`	number
`dailyLimit`	number

A field that does not apply to an answer is left out, or is null.

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

Good to know

postUrl takes the post's link or its socialId. A bare post id is refused.
You send like / celebrate / support / love / insightful / funny; reading reactions back, LinkedIn names them LIKE / PRAISE / APPRECIATION / EMPATHY / INTEREST / ENTERTAINMENT.
