Like a comment on a deal

PUT/deals/{deal_id}/comments/{comment_id}/like

comments:write replace_deal_comment_likeDestructiveIdempotent

Records the token's acting user's like on the comment and returns the comment with its live like_count. It takes no body: any body field returns 422 prohibited, and a user_id returns 422 missing. Liking again returns 200 and changes nothing. dry_run shows the result without saving. Emits deal_comment.liked only when the like is new; sends no email. DELETE undoes it.

Path parameters

deal_idstring (uuid)Required#
The deal's id, a uuid. An unknown deal, or one the token can't see, returns 404.
comment_idstring (uuid)Required#
The comment's id.

Query parameters

dry_runboolean#
Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with meta.dry_run set.
