Like (liked=true) or unlike a post as the account, through X's real page, verified on screen. Or like a person's newest post with person instead of post. Counts against Like. Example: {account:'@me', post:'https://x.com/a/status/1', liked:true}.

Input

Field Type Required Description
account string (1–100 chars) Yes The X account to use: its X-Buddy account_id (from account_list) or its @handle. Ambiguous names return candidates instead of guessing.
post string (1–300 chars) No Post id (digits) or its URL, e.g. https://x.com/someone/status/1790000000000000000
person string (1–60 chars) No Like this person's newest own post instead of a given post (liked=true only).
liked boolean No

Result

Creates a job for the X account's VPS. REST waits up to wait seconds (default 15, max 20): when done it returns 200 with the result, otherwise 202 with Location: /api/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}. The final status is succeeded, failed, cancelled or unknown.

Needs an idempotency key (Idempotency-Key, 8–128 characters). Retrying with the same key never repeats the action.

A job that ends unknown may already have happened on X: never resend it with a new idempotency key.
