Hi There,

I just noticed on the Data API that the ability to send comments has been removed other than for the user to send to their own blog. Is this going to be changed? And if not is it possible to get approved access to this feature? I runhttp://fav.or.itwhich distributes comments (after we have spam checked them via multiple services) could someone from the engineering team please contact me 'nick at fav.or.it' - to talk about possible solutions.

Best regards,

Hi Nick,

It seems like commenting as a non-author through the API is working. At least it did for me :) I used ClientLogin to authenticate my client, then created a blog post as the first user, the only author on that blog. I then used ClientLogin to authenticate as a different user and posted a comment to the newly created post. I'm guessing you may be doing things a bit differently, so perhaps more details would help.

Cheers,

Jeff
