You got this exception because you are using List<String> source in your Post class means you want source as an array but in your JSON response it is an Object. so you have to change it to an object.

Make a class for your source object like the following.

 public class Source {
    private String id;
    private String name;
 }

And now You have to change source type in Post class like the following

@SerializedName("source")
 //private List<String> source;
 private Source source; // source is an object in your response json
