How can I write comment on my activity via API

Question

I’m building a personal comment automation tool using the Strava API.

The app is for personal use only, designed to automatically post my own annual mileage data as a comment on my activities.

I have confirmed that my access token includes “ [scope] => read,activity:write,activity:read_all,profile:write,profile:read_all,read_all”, and I am attempting to post a short comment to my own activity using the endpoint:

`POST /api/v3/activities/{activity_id}/comments`

However, I consistently receive a `401 Authorization Error`, and the response does not include any explanation or error details.

Could anyone confirm whether comment posting via API is allowed for my app, or if there are any restrictions I should be aware of?

You can only GET the comments, not POST them.

sorry, I mean not the comment but the descripion below activity title..

Then you are using the wrong endpoint, please have a look at https://developers.strava.com/docs/reference/#api-Activities-updateActivityById
