Reactions & views

Removes this reader's reaction of one type

DELETE
/v1/public/blog/posts/{post}/reactions/{type}

Authorization

x-api-key
headerx-api-key<token>

A tenant API key — secret (htk_…) or, where allowed, publishable (hpk_…).

Path Parameters

post*string

The post's slug (recommended) or id.

type*unknown

Query Parameters

visitorId?string

Your own stable, anonymous id for the reader (e.g. a uuid kept in localStorage). Used to remember their reactions. Falls back to ip + user agent.

Response Body

Counts per type, and the ones this reader left.

Toggles a reaction POST

Adds the reaction, or removes it if this reader already left it. Returns the new counts. Only the types in `GET /public/blog` → `reactions.types` are accepted.

Counts a view POST

Call once when a reader opens the post (from the browser, so bots that never run script do not count). Repeat views by the same reader within 30 minutes are ignored — `counted` says which.
