My question is simple: i want to execute this snippet of code:

To post to Chatter.
Where do i find the Record id for the Chatter feed?

thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt, 

Here record id refers to any object record for which chatter feed tracking is enabled.

Ok - how do i get one ? I can't seem to see an object record id in the URL when I post something into Chatter ..
thanks -

Are you a chatter user or system admin? If you are system admin, then you can take any object record Id from URL provided that the chatter feed tracking is enabled for it and use it in your code.

Thanks  - i am a system admin, i verified. 
here is what i see on the chatter page (note the URL, not containing the object record).

Hi Matt,

Please use Id of any custom object record or standard object record for which chatter feed tracking is enabled. In other tabs, Devices, Robots etc are the objects, you can use their Ids if chatter is enabled for them.
