Reply to a specific post via API

(cpk) #1

Hey all. I am attempting to reply to specific post in a topic thread. I can reply to topics, but can’t seem to reply to specific post numbers.

sample x-www-form-urlencoded data:

category:6
topic_id:40
reply_to_post_number:98
raw:reply to post id 98 with 20 chars

This successfully posts a reply to the topic thread, but doesn’t seem to show it as a reply within my web instance. I have tested this using the POSTMAN chrome app which successfully shows the post as a nested reply. Any insight would be a huge help. Thanks.

Edit: I AM including the api_key and api_username to the endpoint.

Did you send api key and api user?

Yes I did. Forgot to mention that. Will edit my post.

Thanks.

Same here! The reply is applied to topic thread but it doesn’t increment reply count to the post with id passed through reply_to_post_number parameter.

EDIT: My mistake, I was passing post id value as reply_to_post_number parameter, and not post_number itself. It worked now!

Do you mean we should do?
