id string Primary identifier for a poll. This will be an integer, but it is always expressed as a string to avoid limitations with the way JavaScript integers are expressed. This id space is unique to poll objects. There can be a Post and Poll with the same ID; no relation is implied.
is_anonymous boolean Whether poll results are anonymous, or if who responded to what option is displayed when the poll is over (or the creator of the poll looks at it).
is_public boolean Whether poll is public or private. If private, it still may be attached to a public object, such as a post or a message.
max_options integer How many options can be selected at once by responders. Default is 1.
options object A list of 2 to 10 responses for the poll.
Field Type Description
text string Up to 64 Unicode characters. One response for users to choose for the poll. Any spaces, including line endings, will be replaced with a single space.
position integer Order of the option in the list of options, starting at 1 and going up sequentially. Assigned by the API if the user does not specify them.
is_your_response boolean True if user responded to the poll with this option.
