# Query Reactions

To further facilitate the management of reactions in your app, the social.plus SDK product includes a `getReactions` method that allows you to retrieve information about a specific reaction or all reactions on a comment and post.

Using this method, you can fetch detailed information about:

* The user who made the reaction.
* The timestamp of the reaction.
* Any additional metadata associated with the reaction.

This feature helps analyze community sentiment and gain insights into the types of content that resonate with the users.

To query `getReactions` you'll need to simply provide `referenceType` and `referenceId` to query specific types of reactions. For further information regarding reaction reference types, please see - [#create-comment](https://docs.social.plus/social-plus-sdk/social/reactions/..#create-comment "mention").

The `referenceType` parameter determines the type of reference for which reactions are queried. Supported values are:

* **`post`**: Retrieves reactions for a post.
* **`story`**: Retrieves reactions for a story.
* **`comment`**: Retrieves reactions for a comment.
* **`message`**: Retrieves reactions to a message.

To query reactions, provide both the `referenceType` and `referenceId`. If you'd like to filter by a specific reaction type, provide the `reactionName` as well.

To query all reactions for a post:
