I try to get comment data for my posts via API from my Lemmy instance, but whatever I try on using the GetComments endpoint it delivers an empty array.
For example … GET https://programming.dev/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=20878811
leads to:
{
"comments": []
}
I want to ask here, before creating an issue. Has someone a hint?
Oddly, the endpoint on lemm.el and lemmy.ml return comments:
> curl 'https://lemm.ee/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=45734814' | jq '.comments.[] | .comment.content[:50]' "Yeah, you're right. I didn't read enough of the do" "Thank you for the tip ... but whatever I try with " "~~In 0.19.5, they removed the deprecated `post_id`" > curl 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=21766749' | jq '.comments.[] | .comment.content[:50]' "Yeah, you're right. I didn't read enough of the do" "Thank you for the tip ... but whatever I try with " "~~In 0.19.5, they removed the deprecated `post_id`"
I think it would be better to ask the admin of the instance before creating the issue.
In 0.19.5, they removed the deprecated
post_id
tag, and replaced it with thepost_ids
array. If you ran that against an instance still running 0.19.4, it should work.Thank you for the tip … but whatever I try with the parameter
post_ids
in curl, my instance running 0.19.5 does not recognize the parameter and I receive a list with the latest comments over all posts … !?Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t read enough of the docs. The new field is only for posts, not for comments. It looks like
post_id
should still be valid.
