How to insert or add a comment to a google Document via the API

[Paul Armstrong]

Hi

Can anyone advise on the API to use to add a comment to a google Document using the app script API? 

This may have been answered many times before but try searching for the terms "document' and "comment", and you'll see it's hard to find the answer if it is there :) 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

an update, I have found the method and its via the DriveAPI. This documentation: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/manage-comments#define

The challenge now is how do I anchor a comment—fix a comment to some text in a document. Any examples welcome.

thank you

Another approach might be to modify an existing comment using the comment.update method.  This means you don't have to worry about anchoring, etc. (https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v2/comments/update).

 var resource = {'content': 'I can change this comment!','commentId':'INSERT_ID'}

   Drive.Comments.update(resource, fileId, commentId);
