PagePost is missing attachments

Which SDK version are you using?

8.0

What's the issue?

This is hard to get attachments for page posts

• in a Page.APIRequestGetPosts you cannot specify that you want to include attachments (but it is possible in API). You can still do this by apiRequestGetPosts.requestField("attachments{media_type,url,description,title,subattachments,media,target}")
• then they are returned in raw response, you can access them by getRawResponseAsJsonObject but attachments are not mapped into any field in PagePost
• currently to get attachments as a Java objects, you need to call PagePost#getAttachments().execute() for each post (which is resource heavy)
• PostAttachements are not mapped to object in any way. Method PagePost#getAttachments is returning generic object APINode

  Steps/Sample code to reproduce the issue

final Page.APIRequestGetPosts apiRequestGetPosts = new Page.APIRequestGetPosts("<<id>>", yourContext);

        apiRequestGetPosts.requestField("attachments{media_type,url,description,title,subattachments,media,target}");
        final JsonObject firstPost = apiRequestGetPosts.execute().get(0).getRawResponseAsJsonObject();
       post.get("attachments"); // this is there not empty but not possible to get via API

Observed Results:

• for getting post attachment in an object way you need to make additional calls
• they are mapped to a generic object

Expected Results:

• you may get attachments along with posts (as this is possible in API), and even possible in SDK, but the field is not easily accessible
• there is an object mapping for attachments instead of generic APINode
