Issue comments

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

Acerca de los comentarios de incidencias y las solicitudes de incorporación de cambios

Puedes usar la API REST para crear y administrar comentarios sobre problemas y solicitudes de incorporación de cambios. Cada solicitud de extracción es un informe de problemas, pero no todos los informes de problemas son una solicitud de extracción. Es por esto que las acciones "compartidas" para ambas características, como la administración de los asignados, las etiquetas y los hitos, se proporcionan dentro de los puntos de conexión de incidencias. Para administrar comentarios sobre revisiones de solicitudes de incorporación de cambios, consulta "Comentarios sobre revisiones de solicitudes de extracción".

Tipos de medios personalizados

Estos son los tipos de medios admitidos para este conjunto de puntos de conexión:

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

Para más información sobre los tipos de medios, vea "Tipos de medios personalizados".
