Creating comment via API

If you need to add comments to a pad:

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

  curl -X POST http://localhost:9001/p/THE_PAD_ID/comments -d "apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" -d 'data=[{"name":"AUTHOR","text":"COMMENT"}, {"name":"ANOTHER_AUTHOR","text":"ANOTHER_COMMENT"}]'
  

  The response will be:

  {"code":0,"commentIds":["c-VEtzKolgD5krJOVU","c-B8MEmAT0NJ9usUwc"]}
  

• Use the returned comment ids 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.
