# Product Hunt Comments API

Comment threads on one post, ordered by score, each with up to 20 replies and the thread reply count.

`GET /v1/product-hunt/posts/{slug}/comments` returns `data.comments`, `data.postSlug`, `data.totalCount` and `data.page`. Each comment has `id`, `bodyText`, `createdAt`, `votesCount`, `repliesCount`, `repliesHasMore`, `user` and `replies`. The user object carries `username` and `name`. Each reply has `id`, `bodyText`, `createdAt`, `votesCount` and `user`.

The route pages up to 20 comment threads at a time and orders them by score. `replies` holds up to 20 replies; `repliesCount` is the thread total and `repliesHasMore` says whether more exist. A slug with no public post is `not_found`; a found post with no comments is `found` with an empty `comments` list.

## FAQ

### Does replies contain every reply?

Each comment carries up to 20 replies in `replies`. `repliesCount` is the thread total and `repliesHasMore` is true when the thread has more replies than the 20 returned.

### How do I read the next page of comments?

When `data.page.hasMore` is true, send `data.page.nextCursor` as the `cursor` query parameter. The cursor is tied to the post slug, so do not reuse it for another post.

### What does totalCount count?

`totalCount` counts top-level comment threads, not replies and not the size of the current page. A post's `commentsCount` is a different figure: it includes replies.

### How do I tell a missing post from a post with no comments?

Check `data.lookupStatus`. A slug with no public post is `not_found`. A found post with no comment threads is `found` with `comments: []`.

### How much does it 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.
