Usage info

This method returns a list of all reactions for a single item (file, file comment, channel message, group message, or direct message).

An item will always have a type property, while the other properties depend on the type of item. The possible types are:

message: the item will have a message property containing a message object and a channel property containing the channel ID for the message
file: this item will have a file property containing a file object
file_comment: the item will have a file property containing the file object and a comment property containing the file comment

The users array in the reactions property will always contain the authenticated user, but might not always contain all users that have reacted. The value of count, however, will always represent the count of all users who made that reaction (i.e. it may be greater than users.length).

`not_allowed_token_type`	The token type used in this request is not allowed.

`invalid_arg_name`	The method was passed an argument whose name falls outside the bounds of accepted or expected values. This includes very long names and names with non-alphanumeric characters other than `_`. If you get this error, it is typically an indication that you have made a very malformed API call.

Warnings

This table lists the expected warnings that this method will return. However, other warnings can be returned in the case where the service is experiencing unexpected trouble.

Warning	Description
`missing_charset`	The method was called via a `POST` request, and recommended practice for the specified `Content-Type` is to include a `charset` parameter. However, no `charset` was present. Specifically, non-form-data content types (e.g. `text/plain`) are the ones for which `charset` is recommended.
`superfluous_charset`	The method was called via a `POST` request, and the specified `Content-Type` is not defined to understand the `charset` parameter. However, `charset` was in fact present. Specifically, form-data content types (e.g. `multipart/form-data`) are the ones for which `charset` is superfluous.
