How to retrieve Epic discussion/comments via REST API 2.0?

Question

I'm building an automation that monitors epic status updates from owners. In the Jira Align UI, each epic has a "Discussion" section where owners can post comments/updates.

I've tried the following REST API 2.0 endpoints and none expose this data:

GET /rest/align/api/2/Epics/{id}/comments → 405
GET /rest/align/api/2/Epics/{id}/discussions → 405
GET /rest/align/api/2/Comments → 404
GET /rest/align/api/2/Discussions → 404

Is there an endpoint (documented or undocumented) to retrieve comments from the Discussion section on Epics?

If not, is there a way to query recent activity/updates on an Epic (similar to an activity feed)

Are there plans to add discussion/comment support to the REST API?

Context: We're using the API 2.0 base URL: https://{instance}.jiraalign.com/rest/align/api/2

Any guidance appreciated, even if it's confirming this isn't currently possible via API.

Hello @Razy Kased

The 404 and 405 errors you're seeing are due to a current API limitation Jira Align doesn't expose Epic Discussion comments through the REST API 2.0 m. There are active feature requests tracking this gap (JIRAALIGN-4141 and JIRAALIGN-4912), so it’s not an issue with your syntax.

If you just need to monitor recent activity, the Epic audit log endpoint (GET /rest/align/api/2/Epics/{id}/auditlog) can track general status or field changes, though it won't pull the actual text threads from the UI.
