Method IDs (post and user)

[mazenkourouche]

Not sure if this has been answered yet but which IDs should be used for user and post?

I'm getting 'Unknown server error' when performing a reply.

Im using the post.id and user.pk_id for that post. Should the user ID be my ID? (if so, have we found a way to get that ID from the token)?

[elijah-wright]

the user ID needs to be the the poster's. so if instagram makes a post, it would be the post ID and then the user ID of instagram

Sorry just trying to work my head around why I'm getting the "unknown server error". So assuming this is the post I want to reply to:

"items": [
    {
      "thread_items": [
        {
          "post": {

    }

the post ID would be '"id": "3144129357602005392_1468330069" and the user ID would be 1468330069?

Because using those values resulted in the error mentioned

[elijah-wright]

here's what I tried:

await client.posts.fetch('3144129357602005500', '1468330069').then(post => {
	console.log(post);
});

and I got something about being unable to read the post

Some actions aren't available for certain types of posts, like reposts. I believe you can't directly reply to a repost. For this case I grab the ID of the referenced post in the post.text_post_app_info.share_info.reposted_post key.

closing, I assume this is resolved
