};
```

### createLike (with elevated permissions)

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { likes } from '@wix/blog';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { likes },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function createLike(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.likes.createLike(options);
};
```
