Getting all comments? #42

Open vl2376 opened 5 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for the amazing work ! One step further for me would be to try and get all comments for each post. Would you know how to do this ? It seems hard because it's not only scrolling down but rather finding how to click the "+" button at the bottom of the comments...

Thanks for the help !

Hi, it's actually doable, but it would take much time if you try to fetch many posts with all comments.

i see ; it would be super interesting though for small accounts. Alternatively, I am trying to get the number of comments for each post ; the information is not available in the posts' pages but is avaialble in the main page. Trying to see how I can get it...
