# Like a post

`POST /api/v1/posts/{postId}/likes`

**Rate limit:** 60 requests per 60 seconds. This is the **default shared quota** — it is shared with every other endpoint that has no dedicated limit, so requests across those endpoints all draw from the same budget.

Toggles a Like emotion on the specified post for the authenticated user. emotionType defaults to Like (the only supported emotion type). The call is idempotent — liking an already-liked entity succeeds silently.
