# Hide or unhide a reply

`POST /v1/comments/{id}/hide`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.postlake.dev`
- URL: `https://api.postlake.dev/v1/comments/{id}/hide`
- Auth: `bearerAuth` (a scheme the document does not define)

The other half of moderating a comment section. Without it the only answer to an abusive reply is to reply to it. A failure means the reply is still visible, so treat an error as "still there" rather than assuming it worked.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `account` string, required: The connection the post is on
  - `hidden` boolean: false puts it back

## Response `200`

Success

- object
  - `account` string
  - `platform` string
  - `hidden` boolean
  - `ok` boolean
