Like

Like an object or see a list of users who like a given object (updates or comments). Likes are not standalone objects — they only make sense in the context of the object they belong to. A user can view the likes and their like state inside the body of any piece of content that can be liked, and a user can like or unlike an update post or a comment using the POST endpoints below.
