About this endpoint

GET /v1/flickr/photos/{photoId}/comments returns data.photoId and a page of data.comments. Each comment carries id, author (id, alias, name, real name, Pro flag and avatar), createdAt, permalink, text and textHtml.

Use limit and page.nextCursor to page through the comments. Each page carries at most limit rows and each comment appears once. A photo with no comments returns lookupStatus: found with an empty list, and an unknown photo returns not_found.

Flickr Photo Comments API FAQ

Does it return replies to comments?

No. This route lists the comments on a photo. The comment record has a permalink and text; threaded replies are not part of this response.

Is the comment text HTML?

Both forms are returned: text has the markup removed and entities decoded, and textHtml is the comment as HTML.

How much does a comments page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.

What happens for a photo with no comments?

lookupStatus is found and comments is empty. A missing or deleted photo is not_found instead.
