> **For coding agents and LLMs:** This is one Social Fetch marketing page (markdown export). For API orientation start with [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt); for auth and crawl rules use [`/agents.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/agents.txt); for every operation use [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-endpoints.txt). ## This page - **On-site (HTML):** - **Markdown (.mdx) URL:** --- # Stack Overflow Comments Batch API Comments for up to 100 questions or answers in one request, one entry per distinct post id. `GET /v1/stack-overflow/posts/comments?ids=11,11227902` returns one entry per distinct post id, in the order first asked. Each entry has `postId`, `lookupStatus`, `postType`, `commentCount`, `commentsComplete` and `comments`. A missing post is `not_found` with an empty `comments` list and null counts, while the other entries are unaffected. `commentCount` is the post's comment count and `commentsComplete` is false when the post has more comments than this response holds. The batch charges 1 credit per distinct post id, including an id that is not a post. Repeats are dropped before billing. `replyTo` is always null on this batch because the comments-by-post routes do not carry reply targets. `edited` is the marker shown with the comment and can differ from the same comment on another route. ## Request - **Endpoint:** `GET /v1/stack-overflow/posts/comments` - **Credits:** 1 credit per post id Up to 100 ids per request Max 100 credits An id that is not a post is still charged Failed requests are free - **Input:** by post ids - **Full reference:** [docs](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/stack-overflow/posts/comments/get) - **Platform page:** [/platforms/stack-overflow](https://www.socialfetch.dev/platforms/stack-overflow) ## FAQ ### How many posts can one call take? 1 to 100 post ids, comma-separated. A post id is a question id or an answer id; read postType on the entry to see which it is. ### How is the comments batch billed? 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. ### Why is commentsComplete false? The post has more comments than this response holds. The comments returned are still in comments, and the flag tells you the list is short. ### What does a missing post look like? Its entry has lookupStatus not_found, postType null, commentCount null, commentsComplete null and an empty comments list. The response stays HTTP 200.
