# Ko-fi Comments API

A post's comment threads, with author details and one level of replies, 25 at a time.

`GET /v1/ko-fi/posts/{slug}/comments` returns `data.comments`, 25 top-level comments a page, newest first as the post shows them. Each comment has `id`, `text`, `author` (`id`, `name`, `handle`, `avatarUrl`), `postedAt`, `likes`, `parentId`, `replyTo` and `replies`. A reply has the same author and text fields plus `parentId` and `replyTo`, and its own `replies` array is always empty because replies nest one level only. Replies are ordered oldest first. `data.page.total` counts all comments including replies when Ko-fi publishes a total.

Continue with `page.nextCursor` while `page.hasMore` is true. The offset is opaque and carries the post slug, so a cursor from another post is refused. A post with no comments is `found` with an empty list. A missing post is `not_found`.

## FAQ

### Are replies nested more than one level?

No. Ko-fi nests replies one level deep, and the API returns replies inline on each top-level comment. A reply's own replies array is always empty; deeper replies are not returned.

### How do I tell an empty post from a missing post?

Read lookupStatus. A real post with no comments is found with comments: []. A missing post is not_found.

### How is the page offset passed?

Use the opaque cursor from page.nextCursor. Do not build an offset yourself: the cursor carries the post slug and a fingerprint of the request, and a cursor issued for another post is refused with a 400 before any request.

### How many credits 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.
