Update a comment (hide/unhide)

Update a comment (that was created through Outstand) on the social network it lives on.

Update a comment (that was created through Outstand) on the social network it lives on. The only mutable field the platform APIs expose on a published comment is its visibility, so this hides or unhides the comment. Provide the post ID in the path and the comment's platform-specific ID as replyId, and set "hidden" in the body. Use platform_post_id or account_username to select which connected account's credentials to use (optional when the post was published to only one account). Supported on Instagram and Threads. Note: comment text cannot be edited via the platform APIs.
