Comment on an issue

POST
/v1/issues/{issueId}/comments
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.pealboard.com/v1/issues/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/comments \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "body": "example", "visibility": "internal", "portalId": "2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0" }'

visibility: "internal" posts an ordinary GitHub comment that no customer ever sees.

visibility: "public" is Reply to portal: the same GitHub comment with a hidden marker appended, and that marker is the only thing that makes it visible to customers of the named portal. Nothing typed into GitHub reaches a customer without it. A public comment needs portalId, because a marker names one portal and an issue can be shared to several.

Access. Requires the member role or above (member, admin, owner). Commenting writes to the customer’s GitHub repository under their installation. API-key scope: issues:write.
