Usage

getGroupPostReposts(group_id, post_id, access_token)

Arguments

group_id

A numeric id for the VK group. Available from the group's page (see Details).

post_id

A numeric id for the post on the group's wall.

access_token

Your access token (see ?makeAccessToken).

Details

Many VK groups have their ID as part of their URL address (e.g. https://vk.com/publicGROUPID, where GROUPID is a sequence of numbers). In the event a group has a screen name that does not show its ID in the URL, one can access it by clicking on any group post (or photo, video, etc.): the post will open with a new URL of the form https://vk.com/SCREENNAME?w=wall-GROUPID_POSTID). Pass GROUPID (without the minus sign in front of it) to the function call.

post_id
