Comment System

⚡ Built-in — Platform Built-in

Add comments to any page or blog post. Supports threaded replies, moderation (approve/reject), and visitor identification via SAPI Visitor Auth. Comments are pending by default until approved; the owner can turn on auto_approve (configure) so comments without a link are published at once. Visitors post through a SAPI form (configure_form, action type iapi, service comment-system, endpoint submit-comment with page_slug, author_name, author_email, body and optional parent_id), so the form honeypot, timing check and rate limit apply. Pages read approved comments with list-comments, get-comment-counts and get-recent-comments.

⚡ Built-in — No Setup Required This integration is built into the WebsitePublisher platform. All endpoints are available immediately — no API key needed.
