Issue comments

The Issue comments API supports managing comments on issues and pull requests.

About the Issue comments API

The Issue comments API supports managing comments on issues and pull requests. Every pull request is an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this reason, "shared" actions for both features, like managing assignees, labels, and milestones, are provided within Issues API. To manage pull request review comments, use the Pull request review comments API instead.

Custom media types

These are the supported media types for this API:

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.text+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.full+json

For more information about media types, see "Custom media types."
