Team Discussions

The team discussions API allows you to get, create, edit, and delete discussion posts on a team's page. You can use team discussions to have conversations that are not specific to a repository or project. Any member of the team's organization can create and read public discussion posts. For more details, see "About team discussions." To learn more about commenting on a discussion post, see the team discussion comments API. This API is only available to authenticated members of the team's organization.
