Polls

Vote on a poll

Submit a vote on a poll on behalf of the bot. The bot must be a member of the topic the poll was posted in.

Use the id values from the options array in the POST /v2/polls response as the optionId.

Constraints:

  • Anonymous polls do not support voting via the API
  • Votes cannot be cast on closed or expired polls
  • Each {pollId, optionId, voter} combination is idempotent — re-submitting the same vote is a no-op
post/v2/polls/{pollId}/votes

Request

Path parameters

pollIdstring uuid required

The poll ID (returned as id in the create poll response)

Headers

X-Signaturestring
Example:a3d5f8e7c2b1d4f6a8e9c7b5d3f1a2e4b6c8d0f2e4a6b8c0d2e4f6a8b0c2d4e6

HMAC signature of the request for authentication and replay protection.

Required only when authenticating with a static API key. If you are using an OAuth access token (issued by POST /oauth/token), omit this header — the JWT carries all the authentication and integrity guarantees.

Replay Protection: The signature includes a timestamp to prevent replay attacks. Requests with timestamps older than 5 minutes are rejected.

The signature payload differs by HTTP method:

  • POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: HMAC-SHA256 of {timestamp}.{body}
  • GET: HMAC-SHA256 of {timestamp}.{uri}

The signature is calculated as:

  1. Get the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds
  2. Determine the payload:
    • For POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: Use {timestamp}.{body} where body is the request body
    • For GET: Use {timestamp}.{uri} where uri is the full request URI (e.g., /v2/members?limit=10)
  3. Calculate HMAC-SHA256 of the combined payload using your API secret
  4. Hex-encode the output
  5. Include the timestamp in the X-Timestamp header

Example for GET request to /v2/members?limit=10:

timestamp = 1699564800000
payload = "1699564800000./v2/members?limit=10"
signature = HMAC-SHA256(secret, payload)
X-Signature: hex(signature)
X-Timestamp: 1699564800000

Example for POST request with body {"topicId":"123","text":"Hello"}:

timestamp = 1699564800000
payload = '1699564800000.{"topicId":"123","text":"Hello"}'
signature = HMAC-SHA256(secret, payload)
X-Signature: hex(signature)
X-Timestamp: 1699564800000

For multipart/form-data requests, sign the exact raw request body bytes (including boundaries and file bytes) as transmitted.

X-Timestampinteger
Example:1699564800000

Unix timestamp in milliseconds when the request was created. Used for replay protection — requests older than 5 minutes are rejected.

Required only when authenticating with a static API key. Omit when using an OAuth access token.
