How to fetch comments from pull-requests?

[Suresh Sakhare]

As mention in bibucket server REST api documentation link. I am trying to fetch the comments.

(/rest/api/1.0/projects/OTP/repos/otplanner/pull-requests/20/comments?ANCHORSTATE="ALL"&DIFFTYPE="EFFECTIVE") 

It gives me below error

{
 "errors": [
 {
 "context": null,
 "message": "The path query parameter is required when retrieving comments.",
 "exceptionName": null
 }
 ]
}

 Suggest on this

Hi Suresh,

The message in the response suggests that you are missing the path. Please note the "comments" endpoint can't be used without the path variable.  For example following

PROJECT_1/repos/rep_1/pull-requests/1/comments?path=add_file/add_file.txt  can be used to retrieve the comments for the file add_file.txt in add_file folder.

If you are looking for general pull request comments then I would suggest using activities.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
