Comments

The comments api allows you to create, update, delete and see all comments for different objects. Objects having comments are Clips, Gallery Items and Comments. Note that there can only be two levels of comments, so a comment on a comment cannot be further commented. Additionally it is possible to list all comments on a playlist, which returns the comments of the clips of the playlist.

Attributes
id Integer Unique numeric identifier
body String Text of the comment
creator_id Integer User id of the user that created the comment. Can be null, when the comment was created by a guest.
frame Integer Start frame that a comment on a clip refers to. Can be null if the comment does not refer to a specific section.
frame_out Integer End frame, a comment for clips refers to. Can be null if the comment does not refer to a specific section or refers to a single frame.
commentable_type String The type of object the comment refers to. Can be Clip, Gallery Item or Comment.
commentable_id Integer The Id of the object the comment refers to.
guest_name String If the comment was made by a guest user, guest_name provides the name of the creator. Otherwise it is empty (null).
guest_email String If the comment was made by a guest user, guest_email provides the email of the creator. Otherwise it is empty (null).
comments Array of Comments A list of comments on the comment. Empty array for comments on comments.

Comment URLs depend on the commented object:

Object having Comments URL
Clip /api/projects/{project_id}/clips/{clip_id}/comments
Comment on Clip /api/projects/{project_id}/clips/{clip_id}/comments/{comment_id}/comments
Gallery Item /projects/{project_id}/folders/{folder_id}/galleries/{gallery_id}/items/{item_id}/comments
Comment on Gallery Item /projects/{project_id}/folders/{folder_id}/galleries/{gallery_id}/items/{item_id}/comments/{comment_id}/comments
Playlist /api/projects/{project_id}/folders/{folder_id}/playlists/{playlist_id}/comments

To address a single comment in case of updates or deletions, one has to add the comment id as a last parameter (e.g. /api/projects/{project_id}/clips/{clip_id}/comments/{comment_id}).
