Reply to a comment, i.e. comment on a comment, on either an Ayrshare made comment, using the Ayrshare Comment ID, or a comment made outside of Ayrshare, using the Social Comment ID.

Most often, you will reply to a comment made through Ayrshare, but when you want to reply to a comment made outside of Ayrshare, you can use the Social Comment ID, which you get GET /comment endpoint.

Supported platforms: Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, and YouTube.

Header Parameters

Path Parameters

commentId · string · required

If replying to a comment made through Ayrshare, use the Ayrshare Comment ID commentId returned from the POST comment endpoint.

For example, the Ayrshare comment ID commentId returned from the POST comment endpoint is:

Ayrshare Comment ID Returned from POST /comment

{
  "commentId": "Ut1fWU6XkqkMayHGnJZ"
}

If replying to a comment made outside of Ayrshare, use the Social Comment ID commentId from the social network.

For example, the social comment ID commentId returned from a Facebook POST /comment or GET /comment endpoint is:

Social Comment ID Returned from POST /comment

{
  "facebook": { "commentId": "8392829334_1234567890" }
}

Body Parameters

platforms · array · required

If replying to a comment made through Ayrshare using the Ayrshare Comment ID, specify the platforms to post the reply. Supported platforms: bluesky, facebook, instagram, linkedin, tiktok, twitter, youtube.

If replying to a comment made outside of Ayrshare using the Social Comment ID, specify the one platform to post the reply. Supported platforms: facebook, instagram, linkedin, tiktok, twitter.

comment · string · required

The reply to add to the comment.

mediaUrls · array

Attach an image by providing the image URL. Only one image is supported. Facebook and LinkedIn only.

objResponse · boolean · default: true

@Mentions in Comments

You can include @mentions directly in the comment text string. There is no separate parameter for mentions. Simply add @handle in your comment text.

Reply with @Mention

{
  "comment": "Thanks @CompanyName! Great insight.",
  "platforms": ["linkedin", "twitter", "facebook"]
}

LinkedIn Mentions: LinkedIn mentions are resolved server-side by Ayrshare. Use the LinkedIn Search endpoint to look up the correct vanity name or member name. For organizations, use @handle. For members, use @vanity_name or @[Full Name].

For detailed mention syntax and limitations per platform, see:

• Bluesky mentions
• Facebook mentions
• Instagram mentions
• LinkedIn mentions
• Threads mentions
• TikTok mentions
• X/Twitter mentions
• YouTube mentions

Reply to comment is not supported on Reddit. See Post Verification for the platform-by-platform mention rules and recommendations.
