| 6 | +To avoid making extra API calls, we've updated the[Reactions API preview][initial-reaction-api-post] to include additional user information when listing Reactions. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +**This is a breaking change for Reaction payloads**. If you're trying out this new API during its preview period, you'll need to update your code to continue working with it. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +##JSON Payload Changes |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +We're replacing the`user_id` attribute with`user` and changing the schema type from a number to a JSON object. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +##Example Reaction JSON |
| 15 | +```json |
| 16 | +[ |
| 17 | + { |
| 18 | +"id":1, |
| 19 | +"user": { |
| 20 | +"login":"octocat", |
| 21 | +"id":1, |
