Reactions and Feeds

Read Feeds with Reactions

When using reactions, it is possible to request enriched activities that include both attached reactions by type and reaction counters.

Listed below are the parameters for retrieving reactions.

The “recent” parameter includes up to 5 of the most recent reactions per type

Notify Other Feeds

When adding a reaction, you can use the target_feeds parameter to notify a list of users about the new reaction. When specified, all targeted feeds will receive an activity containing a reference to the reaction.

// adds a comment reaction to the activity and notifies Thierry's notification feed
client.add(reactionTo: activityId,
      kindOf: "comment",
      extraData: Comment(text: "@thierry great post!"),
      targetsFeedIds: [FeedId(feedSlug: "notification", userId: "thierry")]) { result in /* ... */ }

The targetFeeds field is limited to a maximum of 20 targets per API request.
