Retrieving batch FB reactions from multiple posts

I managed to return the first page of my posts with some details including its ID with:
api = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/me'
key = 'secret'
payload = {'fields':'''
posts{permalink_url,created_time,admin_creator,message}'''
, 'access_token':key}
r = requests.get(api, params = payload)
In the FB Graph API documentation, you can do an API call like this /{object-id}/reactions, so now with the ID, getting the reactions is possible. But I need to get the reaction counts by type, so after some research, I find out that I will be able to chain the calls like below.
reactions.type(LIKE).limit(0).summary(1).as(LIKE),
reactions.type(LOVE).limit(0).summary(1).as(LOVE),
reactions.type(WOW).limit(0).summary(1).as(WOW),
reactions.type(HAHA).limit(0).summary(1).as(HAHA),
reactions.type(SAD).limit(0).summary(1).as(SAD),
reactions.type(ANGRY).limit(0).summary(1).as(ANGRY),
reactions.type(THANKFUL).limit(0).summary(1).as(THANKFUL)
Fine now everything is working, but after a pause, I realized that no way in FB will allow me to run those calls for each post especially after I get all the posts IDs since the beginning and sure enough it does not.
So there's this thing about batching as well where I tried to do, where I stacked multiple IDs;
fields=id,reactions.type(PRIDE).limit(0).summary(1),reactions.type(LIKE).limit(0).summary(1)&ids=id1,id2
but I get this instead;
"message": "Syntax error "Field reactions specified more than once. This is only possible before version 2.1"
From here it is quite clear to me that FB does not allow specifying a field more than once but just doing reactions.limit(0).summary(1) just returns the total reactions, how am I able to retrieve the reactions from each post without having to bust the API. It gets more confusing as the APIs constantly change throughout time and now we have v3.2 and most of the methods I have researched on SO does not apply anymore.

It seems the later APIs do not support aliases for certain endpoints so I removed them.

If by that you mean theids=id1,id2syntax (which isn’t really making batch requests), then Yes.
