# Like an item

POST https://api.etera.dev/account/like

Like an item from any type (restaurant, hotel, flight, experience) and add it to the user's default likes list.

**Authentication Required:** Yes - Valid JWT token in Authorization header

**Request Body:**

* **type** (required): Type of item (restaurant, hotel, flight, experience)

**Usage:**

1. Generate a test token using the `/auth/generate-test-token` endpoint
