Comments
Returns nested comments for a post including body text, author, score, depth, gilded status, edited flag and timestamps, with sort options and cursors for deep threads. A staple for product-feedback mining and sentiment research.
What you get
Each call returns up to 20 comments, plus a cursor for the next 20.
Endpoint
GET /v1/reddit/comments
Price
$1.50
per 1,000 calls · $0.0015 per call
Cost per call
1 credit
Failed calls never charged
Parameters
The Reddit post — its id or the full URL.
Maximum records to return, capped at this service's page size (see Limits below). Omit it to receive the whole page. It shapes the response, not the price — a call costs the same either way.
Pagination cursor returned by a previous response.
Bypass cached data and force a live fetch for this one call. Use it for daily monitoring or any figure you are tracking over time. Accepts `true`, `1`, `false` or `0`; anything else returns 400 `invalid_fresh`. Defaults to false and costs exactly the same as a cached call.
One of: true, 1, false, 0
Example request
Live call. Successful calls are charged; failed and empty results are not.

}Getting more results
Each response includes a cursor. Pass it back as cursor to fetch the next 20 comments. Repeat until no cursor is returned.
# Call 1 — first 20 comments

# Call 2 — next 20 comments

-H "X-API-Key: $FASTFETCHZ_KEY"Limits
- Maximum per call: 20 comments.
- Minimum per call: 1 comment — a target with less data returns fewer comments, and an empty result is still a successful call.
- Pass limit to receive fewer than 20 comments. It shapes the response, not the price.
- Larger jobs are paginated with a cursor; there is no cap on how many pages you fetch.
What this costs in practice
200,000 comments = 10,000 calls × 1 credits per call = 10,000 credits = $0.00
Priced at the Custom pack rate: 1,000,000 credits for $0.00.
