Pinpointing proof comments via API

Anybody advise on how to/ if it’s possible to pinpoint proof comments when creating them in Fusion? The rest API lets me narrow them down to page X but I need to go a stage further and pinpoint them to specific X and Y co-ordinates with the arrow as if the user was doing it via the UI.

I’ve tried recreating the calls the UI makes but I can’t make it work. It calls https://us.my.workfront.com/proof/rpc/index.php and passes a session ID in the request body but both the session ID returned via the ProofHQ rest API and the main WF API result in errors when creating comments.

Hi ​@DrJonnyMathias, can you use ProofHQ SOAP API? It has much more features, e.g. https://api.proofhq.com/home/proofs/getproofcomments.html. 😄

I don’t want to get, I want to create. Sorry if that wasn’t clear

Then you just use a different method - e.g. Add Comment: https://api.proofhq.com/home/proofs/addcomment.html.

 

Some things are unsupported though per documentation:

  • Video and interactive proofs
  • @ mention in comments
  • Proof markups
  • Locked, deleted, or archived proofs
