Delete Comments

The delete endpoint allows you to either delete comments sent via Ayrshare or comments that were sent outside of Ayrshare.

Please see the Comments Overview for more information on the different ID types.

​

Delete Comments Sent from Ayrshare

Delete either a single comment or all comments under a post that were sent via Ayrshare. Please see the Ayrshare Post ID and Ayrshare Comment ID for more information.

Supported platforms: Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, X/Twitter, and YouTube.

​

Delete Comments Sent Outside of Ayrshare

Delete a comment that was not sent via Ayrshare by using the commentId returned for a particular social network. This is the Social Comment ID from the social networks, not the Ayrshare ID.

Supported platforms: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, and YouTube.

For example, you get all the comments for a particular Instagram post using the Get Comments endpoint with the searchPlatformId set to true.

GET https://api.ayrshare.com/api/comments/18231730279304111?platform=instagram&searchPlatformId=true

The returned JSON will have a commentId for each comment, which you can use to delete the comment. Remember to set the searchPlatformId to true.
