API Reference

Media.vote

Use this method to vote on the media item.

Voting on a media works in either of 2 ways:
1) Voting as a logged in user: this is done when uid is passed to the function or the user is actually logged in.
2) Making anonymous votes without reCaptcha.


Syntax

mixed(array/null) media.vote ( int mid, int vote, mixed recaptcha = false, int uid = NULL, int APIKEY = NULL )

Arguments
