Get replies/reblogs/favourites count via uri
!Friendica Support
If I have the URI of a post (e.g. https://death.id.au/objects/0e03068e-3466-3cb4-8207-08c267219144) and retrieve it via a JSON API call, I get the ActivityPub representation of that post. This does not include the replies/reblogs/favourites count.
If I retrieve the post through the Mastodon-compatible API, using its local id (e.g. https://death.id.au/api/v1/statuses/342306) I will get the counts, as well as the URI.
But if I'm starting with the URI, how do I get the local id to then call that API?

in reply to Gordon Pedersen • • •@Gordon Pedersen The identifier you're looking for is called
uri-id, it's a numerical representation of all the URIs that are recorded by a Friendica node. Every post has one, as well as all contacts, etc...The
item-uritable actually makes the correlation between aguidand auri-id.Gordon Pedersen
in reply to Hypolite Petovan • •Is there any API I can use to access that correlation? Or is it only possible to figure out within Friendica itself?

in reply to Hypolite Petovan • •That endpoint requires auth, right? Either way, I'll give it a go, thanks 👍

If you click the icon on the top right (or any "Interact on the Fediverse" link) then enter your handle, the page should refresh and show counts on posts.

in reply to Gordon Pedersen • • •@Gordon Pedersen Oh, I see, definitely an interesting feature, although as you've found out, there's no reference to the
uri-idin the public ActivityPub representation of a post.@Michael Vogel What are the risks of including the

diaspora:guidfield.The alternative seems to start accepting a URL as a parameter for the
/api/v1/statuses/API endpoint, before it's converted touri-id.Michael 🇺🇦
