How to Broadcast a Comment to a specific user link

Hi everyone today we explain about the possibility to use the Steem Api to broadcast a comment on a specific user post.
I use the comment on the Hive account@steemrepo project because our curators choose good quality posts and can make the upvote/comment on a post directly by our discord server:

We use discord because we take this two var used on the script:

Author: the post author
Permlink: the link of the post author

Requirements

Installing the libraries:

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
npm install steem --save

Write the Code

var steem = require("steem");
var wifkey = youprivatepostingkey;
var author = postauthor;
var permlink = thelinkoftheposttocommenton;
var author1 = theuserwewillusetocomment;

  steem.broadcast.comment(
    wifkey,
    author, // Parent Author
    permlink, // Parent Permlink
    author1, // Author
    steem.formatter.commentPermlink(author, permlink),
    '', // Title
    'The comment you wanna add on a post' , // Body,
   { tags: ['test'], app: `steemjs/examples` }, // Json Metadata
    function(err, result) {
      console.log(err, result);
    }
  );

Explain the variables

To comment on a specific user post we use the steem.js functions called
"steem.broadcast.comment"
"steem.formatter.commentPermlink"

• wifkey = the private posting key of the users we are using to comment
• author = called Parent Author is the author of the post we are commenting on
• permlink = is exactly the url we are commenting on
• Author1 = is the username related to the wifkey we are using to comment

Let me do an example:

Imagine you are Hive account@yanosh01 and you want to comment this Hive account@steemrepo post:

https://steemit.com/steemrepo/@steemrepo/steemrepo-rewarding-undervalued-content-creators

it will be:

• wifkey = the private posting key of yanosh01
• author = steemrepo
• permlink = steemrepo-rewarding-undervalued-content-creators
• Author1 = yanosh01
