# Retrieve a single post

`GET /posts/{id}.json`

This endpoint can be used to get the number of likes on a post using the
`actions_summary` property in the response. `actions_summary` responses
with the id of `2` signify a `like`. If there are no `actions_summary`
items with the id of `2`, that means there are 0 likes. Other ids likely
refer to various different flag types.
