Creating comment via API

If you need to add a comment to a pad:

• Call this route to create the comment on Etherpad and get the comment id:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:9001/p/THE_PAD_ID/comments -d "apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" -d "name=AUTHOR" -d "text=COMMENT"
  

  The response will be:

  {"code":0,"commentId":"c-VEtzKolgD5krJOVU"}
  

• Use the returned commentId to set the pad HTML via API:

  My comment goes <span class="comment c-VEtzKolgD5krJOVU">here<span>.
  

  Result:

NOTE: Adding a comment to a pad via API will make the other editors with that pad to be alerted, but this feature is only active if your Etherpad is run in loadTest mode. Read the Etherpad Guide for how to enable load testing.
