-d '{"action": "voteup"}' "https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com/services/v2/idea/550/vote.json" -vSuccessful Response:
- HTTP Status 200 - OK
- JSON
{

"result": {
"score": 2
}
}In this example, the idea already had 1 vote, after the request was sent, it increased to 2 votes.
You will see an increase in the vote count by 1 for that specific idea
