Hi guys, i have a post request that returns: {
“id”:“unique-id-of-the-new-favourite”
} … so im wondering in order to get the return value do i need to create a new Kotlin data class?.. or can i just speicfy a return type…

Not much to go on there my friend, what does your network handling code look like?

[Sky]

PostFavourite:
data class PostFavourite(val image_id: String, val sub_id: String)

ImageService:

@POST
suspend fun postFavourite(
    @Url url: String,
    @Body postBody: PostFavourite,
    @Query("api_key") api_key: String,
): Response<PostFavourite>

Repository:

suspend fun postFavourite(postBody: PostFavourite) {
    catsRemoteDataSource.postFavourite(postBody)
}

If your request type is the same as your response type the. Yes you can just reuse it, I think I may be misunderstanding your question though

[Sky]

this is the Post request type:
{
_“image_id”:“id of the image”,_
_“sub_id”:“optional unique id of your user”_
}

and this is the Post request return type:

{
“id”:“unique-id-of-the-new-favourite”
}

In that case you do need to specify a new data class for the return type 😇😇
