getUserWallLikes: Get Likes to Posts from a User Page

In denisStukal/Rvk: Access to VK (VKontakte) API through R

Description

Returns a list of vectors with user IDs who liked posts on a user page. Each vector of user IDs corresponds to a post those users liked.

Usage

getUserWallLikes(user_id, access_token, num_posts = 'all', verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

user_id	A numeric ID of a user. Available from the users's page (see Details).
access_token	Your access token (see ?makeAccessToken).
num_posts	Number of posts to consider. Either 'all' (default) or a positive integer.
verbose	Boolean: if FALSE (default), informational messages are suppressed.

Details

Many users have their ID as part of their URL address (e.g. https://vk.com/idUSERID, where USERID is a sequence of numbers). In the event users have screen names that do not show their ID in the URL, one can access them by clicking on the user's post (or photo, video, etc.): the post will open with a new URL of the form https://vk.com/SCREENNAME?w=wall-USERID_POSTID). Pass USERID (without the minus sign in front of it) to the function call.

Value

A list of vectors with user IDs who liked the user's posts. Each vector of user IDs corresponds to a post those users liked.
