Delete a comment

DELETE
/v1/inbox/comments/{postId}

Deletes a comment. Requires a read-write API key and the account's comment-management scope. canDelete on the comment says whether the platform allows it: Facebook reports it per comment, and Threads only allows deleting replies the connected account itself wrote.

Authorization

bearerAuth
AuthorizationBearer <token>

PostZen API key.

In: header

Path Parameters

postId*string

Post the comments belong to. Accepts a PostZen post id — resolved to the id the post was published under for accountId — or the platform's own post/media id, which is the common case because the inbox covers every post the account has, not only the ones PostZen published. Instagram and Facebook also accept a comment id here.

Query Parameters

accountId*string

PostZen account id of the connected Instagram, Facebook, or Threads account that owns the post.

commentId*string

Platform id of the comment to delete.

Comment on a post or reply to a comment POST

Publishes a comment on the post, or a reply to `commentId` when one is given. Requires a read-write API key and the account's comment-management scope; without the scope the call answers `403 platformCapabilityMissing` and nothing is sent to the platform. `attachmentUrl` is Facebook only — every other platform rejects it with `400 attachmentUnsupported`. Instagram is two levels deep, so replying to a reply is redirected to that reply's top-level parent. A Threads reply is created as a container and then published; when the publish is still pending after PostZen's internal retries the call returns `502 publishPending` and the reply may still appear on its own, so check the thread before retrying rather than posting twice.

Hide a comment POST

Hides a comment so only its author still sees it. Requires a read-write API key and the account's comment-management scope. `canHide` on the comment says whether the platform allows it: Facebook reports it per comment, and Threads only supports hiding top-level replies on the connected account's own posts — hiding one there also hides the replies beneath it.
