HTTP API to retrieve file comments info
I would need to know if it is possible to retrieve the comments written for a shared file (comment and position) and if it is possible to upload new comments or answers from a desktop application using CURL. Haven't found at the API list.
Thanks.

The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to access or add comments unfortunately, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.Greg, thanks your your prompt answer.
Yes, it would be great to have this feature. Thanks.
Definitely need programmatic access to comments: ability to retrieve so that reports can be generated (and this includes reports incorporating comments, and the text snippets they are commenting on, across multiple files), and ability to pull comments in from other sources.
- Greg-DBThanks for the additional feedback!
Is there any news on this yet? And does the same apply to Replay? Would also be happy for API access to the comments...
