Get a comment

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/projects/{project_id}/work-items/{work_item_id}/comments/{pk}/

Retrieve one comment by id. Use it to re-read a comment you created or updated, or to check edited_at before overwriting a body you did not write.

The comment is looked up within the work item in the path. A comment id that belongs to a different work item is not reachable here and returns 404 resource_not_found, the same as an id that does not exist.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs — in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

project_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The project the work item belongs to.

work_item_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The work item the comment is attached to.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The comment to retrieve.

Scopes

projects.work_items.comments:read
