Record a user’s vote on a specific question. Multiple votes can be submitted for the same question, with each new vote overwriting the previous one. Downvotes can include optional feedback.
Important: Feedback (votes) can only be given for normal answers. Simple interactions and clarifications cannot receive votes. Attempting to vote on these question types will return a 400 error. You can check whether a question can receive feedback by checking the can_receive_feedback field returned by the Ask Question endpoint.
