Comment on a Post

To comment on a Page post, send a POST request to the /page_post_id/comments endpoint with the message parameter set to the content for your comment.

Example Request

Formatted for readability. Replace bold, italics values, such as page_post_id, with your values.
curl -i -X POST "https://graph.facebook.comv21.0/page_post_id/comments" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "message":"your_message_text",
         }'

On success, your app receives the following JSON response with id set to the comment ID:

{
  "id":"comment_id"  
}

Example Request

Formatted for readability. Replace bold, italics values, such as page_post_id, with your values.

    }
  }
}

@mention or tag

You can reply to a specific person or Facebook Page by mentioning, or tagging, the person in a comment. A notification will be sent to the person who has been mentioned by the Page. The most common uses for @mentions are:

  • Replying to a specific Facebook Page or person who commented on a Page post or Page post comment that received multiple comments
  • Batch replying to multiple people who commented on a Page post or commented on a Page post comment.

Limitations

  • In the Settings of your Page, you must have allowed Others Tagging this Page.
  • A Page can only mention a person if the person commented on a Page post or if the person created the Page post.

     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "message":"your_message_text @[PSID]",
         }'

On success, your app receives the following JSON response with id set to the ID for your comment:

{
