Extracting all the comments and replies as well #134

Hello, I wanted to ask you how I can extract all the comments and replies since your script only scrapes the comments, and I haven't found a solution to scrape the replies as well. Thanks in advance.

It should be extracting replies as well. Replies will have a . in their comment ID, like this: <ID of original comment>.<ID of reply>.

Thank you for your response. I'm still unable to extract replies using the script, despite following your instructions. Also, the script retrieved more entries (2566) than expected (1326). Could you clarify these issues?

Is it possible that some comments or replies are being duplicated during the extraction process?
