HTTP DELETE¶

Deletes a comment from a draft reply.

This will remove the comment from the reply. This cannot be undone.

Only comments on draft replies can be deleted. Attempting to delete a published comment will return a Permission Denied error.

Instead of a payload response, this will return HTTP 204 No Content.

Errors¶

100 - Does Not ExistHTTP 404 - Not Found	Object does not exist
101 - Permission DeniedHTTP 403 - Forbidden	You don’t have permission for this
103 - Not Logged InHTTP 401 - Unauthorized	You are not logged in

HTTP GET¶

Returns information on a reply to a comment.

Much of the information will be identical to that of the comment being replied to. For example, the range of lines. This is because the reply to the comment is meant to cover the exact same code that the original comment covers.

Errors¶

100 - Does Not ExistHTTP 404 - Not Found	Object does not exist
101 - Permission DeniedHTTP 403 - Forbidden	You don’t have permission for this
103 - Not Logged InHTTP 401 - Unauthorized	You are not logged in

HTTP PUT¶

Updates a reply to a diff comment.

This can only update the text in the comment. The comment being replied to cannot change.

Request Parameters¶

force_text_typeOne of `plain`, `markdown`, `html`	The text type, if any, to force for returned text fields. The contents will be converted to the requested type in the payload, but will not be saved as that type.
textRich Text	The comment text.
text_typeOne of `plain`, `markdown`	The new content type for the comment text field. The default is to leave the type unchanged.
