API to hide comments

[mwarkentin]

There doesn't appear to be an API to hide comments (like you can through the UI). It would be nice if this was available so that tools like atlantis could mark outdated comments as hidden and clean up the PR greatly.

Thanks for your feedback! We're always working to improve GitHub and we consider every suggestion we receive. I don't show that we are planning to offer a way to minimize comments through the API this year, but I have added it to our internal Feature Request List.
We can't say if/when we may add a feature, however your feedback has definitely been recorded.

We ended up using the mutation that is available in the Github v4 API to do that:

I think a graphql api counts, thanks!
