Issue comments

Use the REST API to manage comments on issues and pull requests.

Informationen zu Kommentaren zu Issues und Pull Requests

Du kannst die REST-API verwenden, um Kommentare zu Issues und Pull Requests zu verwalten. Jeder Pull Request ist ein Issue, aber nicht jedes Issue ist ein Pull Request. Aus diesem Grund werden „gemeinsame“ Aktionen für beide Features, z. B. das Verwalten von zugewiesenen Personen, Bezeichnungen und Meilensteinen, in den Endpunkten für Issues bereitgestellt. Informationen zum Verwalten von Reviewkommentaren zu Pull Requests findest du unter Reviewkommentare zu Pull Requests.

Benutzerdefinierte Medientypen

Folgende Medientypen werden für diese Gruppe von Endpunkten unterstützt:

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

Weitere Informationen zu Medientypen findest du unter Benutzerdefinierte Medientypen.
