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.
TikTok — own-authored comments only. On TikTok, DELETE /comments only succeeds for comments authored by the authenticated TikTok account itself (for example, replies you posted via Ayrshare’s reply endpoint or directly inside the TikTok app). Attempting to delete a comment authored by another user — even one left on a video you own — returns Ayrshare code: 328. If you need to moderate third-party comments on your own TikTok videos, contact support so we can confirm what’s available for your linked account type.
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.
