# Clicks on a post's short links

`GET /posts/{id}/link-clicks`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.sociahive.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://www.sociahive.com/api/v1/posts/{id}/link-clicks`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `/api/oauth/authorize`, token URL `/api/oauth/token`, scopes: `posts:read`)

Links in a post are shortened to https://www.sociahive.com/l/<code> when it is published (per the account's short link setting). Each link counts its clicks per day; this returns every short link of the post with its total and the last 30 days. A post with no short links returns an empty `links` array.
