Posts can contain text directly and can also reference child posts for media attachments. Query and get APIs return composed post objects where each SDK exposes helpers for reading the post data.

Parameters

Parent and Child Posts

Media posts commonly use a parent-child shape:
  • The parent post carries the main feed item and text.
  • Child posts carry individual media attachments such as images, videos, and files.
  • SDK helpers expose composed children where the platform supports them.

Platform Notes

Rendering Guidance

  • Prefer SDK helper methods over reading raw data maps when helpers exist.
  • Handle unknown or custom data types gracefully; custom post types are application-defined.
  • For video and clip playback, read the media object first and choose a URL or resolution your UI can render.
  • For room posts, check room status before presenting live or recorded playback UI.
  • Use localCommentCount where exposed when your UI should include replies in the visible comment count.
