comments.addReaction
React to a comment.
Prerequisites
- A Curviate API key, passed as
apiKeywhen you construct the client. Authentication and accounts shows how to create one. - A connected LinkedIn account. This resource is account-scoped: the
account_idis injected automatically by the account-scoped accessor, so you pass it once tocurviate.account(...)and every call below inherits it. Authentication and accounts covers connecting one, and accounts.list returns theaccount_idof each account already connected.
Signature
addReaction(postId: string, commentId: string, body: AddCommentReactionBody): Promise<AddCommentReactionResult>Example
import { Curviate } from "@curviate/sdk";
const curviate = new Curviate({
apiKey: "cvt_live_...",
baseUrl: "https://api.curviate.com",
});
const result = await curviate.account("acc_YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID").comments.addReaction("urn:li:activity:YOUR_POST_ID", "YOUR_COMMENT_ID", { reaction: "like" });
console.log(result.comment_id);Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
postId | string | Yes | The post's id, as returned by get_post or any list response (list_user_posts, list_profile_activity, get_feed). A bare numeric activity id (7332661864792854528), a URN (urn:li:activity:<id>, urn:li:ugcPost:<id>, urn:li:share:<id>), and a full LinkedIn share URL are all accepted and mean the same post. |
commentId | string | Yes | The comment's id (a bare numeric string), as returned by comment_on_post / list_comment_replies. |
reaction | string | Yes | Reaction type (unified lowercase enum): like | celebrate | support | love | insightful | funny. |
react_as | string | No | Company page to react as, the account must administer it. |
Returns
Resolves to AddCommentReactionResult. Top-level fields: object, comment_id, reaction, safety_warning.
Error codes
| Code | What it means, and what to do |
|---|---|
UNAUTHORIZED | The API key is missing, malformed, or revoked. Check the key you passed to the client. |
INVALID_REQUEST | A parameter failed validation. The message names the offending field; fix the request rather than retrying it. |
RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNT | This account's own quota is exhausted. Wait for the window in the Retry-After header, then retry. |
RATE_LIMIT_TENANT | The tenant-wide quota is exhausted across all accounts. Slow the whole workload, not just this call. |
PLATFORM_RATE_LIMIT | LinkedIn is throttling this account. Back off well beyond the hinted delay; sustained pressure risks the account. |
PLATFORM_ERROR | An upstream failure, usually transient: retry once with backoff before treating it as a real error. Check the response first, though. When it carries retry_likely_to_succeed: false and retry_hint: {kind: "never"}, retrying cannot help and backing off only delays the real answer. |
ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND | No connected account with that id belongs to this tenant. List your accounts to get a current id. |
PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE | Three limits can trigger this. The platform's own ceiling on total request size is the lowest and the one you are most likely to hit: it starts rejecting at roughly 1 MB, so a handful of photo-sized images is refused even though it clears everything below. Above that, this API caps one attachment at 5 MiB of file content and the whole request body at 9 MiB. Attachments travel base64-encoded, which inflates them by about a third, so a 5 MiB file costs roughly 6.7 MiB of the body budget. Send fewer or smaller attachments; retrying unchanged will not help. |
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND | The id in the path does not exist, or is not visible to this account. Re-read it from the list endpoint that produced it. |
Every code above is a stable CurviateError.code you can branch on. The full list, the response envelope, and retry semantics are in the Error codes reference.
