FeedLike

Indicates that a user has liked a feed item. FeedLike records represent likes on posts and not likes on comments. Likes on comments can’t be queried via the API. A FeedLike is a child object of an associated FeedItem, FeedTrackedChange, UserProfileFeed, NewsFeed, or object feed, such as AccountFeed. This object is available in API version 21.0 and later.

Supported Calls

create(), delete(), describeSObjects()

Special Access Rules

If the logged-in user has the Insert System Field Values for Chatter Feeds user permission, the create field property is available on CreatedById and CreatedDate system fields for this object. This allows the logged-in user to set these fields to the original post author and creation date upon migration instead of accepting the system field value when migrated, which would be the logged-in user and the date the migration was performed, respectively. The fields can't be updated after migration.

Fields

Field Name	Details
CreatedById	Type reference Properties Create, Defaulted on create, Filter, Group, Sort Description The ID of the user who liked the feed item. This is a standard system field.
FeedItemId	Type reference Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description ID of the feed item that the user liked.
FeedEntityId	Type reference Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description The Id of a feed item or feed comment the user liked. If the user liked a comment, FeedEntityId is set to the ID of the comment. If the user liked a feed item, FeedEntityId is set to the ID of the feed item. FeedEntityId is an optional field. The default value is the ID of the feed item.
InsertedById	Type reference Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description ID of the user who added this object to the feed. For example, if a client application migrates multiple posts and comments from another application into a feed, then InsertedById is set to the ID of the logged-in user.

Usage

You can't query FeedLike records directly. They can only be queried via the parent NewsFeed, UserProfileFeed, or entity feed, such as AccountFeed. For example, the following query returns information, including child FeedLike records:

SELECT ID, CreatedDate, CreatedById, CreatedBy.FirstName,CreatedBy.LastName,
       (SELECT CreatedById, CreatedBy.FirstName, CreatedBy.LastName
        FROM FeedLikes ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC)
     FROM NewsFeed
     ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC, ID DESC
     LIMIT 20

FeedLike records represent likes on posts and not likes on comments. Likes on comments can’t be queried via the API.
