I found this post/conversation on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/xi5r9k/comment/ip2kpeu/)
Based on the original comment by "Nabstar", I would like to retrieve all the replies to this comment. I was reading the documentation for the Reddit API ("Pushshift") over here https://github.com/pushshift/api
Step 1: I was able to find information about the original comment (by Nabstar) on the API
I was able to find the original comment by "Nabstar" in the API:
https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?author=nabstar&size=100
"body": "Andre galvo, on the mat burn pod cast he sat down with josh hinger and they both repeatedly said they never did steroids and never knew of anyone that did.\n\nWho would actually lie on a podcast in front of dozens of people",
"id": "ip2kpeu",
parent_id": "t3_xi5r9k",
"permalink": "/r/bjj/comments/xi5r9k/who_do_you_think_wasnt_juiced_this_adcc/ip2kpeu/",
I then tried to search for the replies to this comment using a variety of different methods:
First Method:
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?ids=ip2kpeu
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?id=ip2kpeu
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?parent_id=ip2kpeu (this one works I think)
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?link_id=ip2kpeu
Second Method:
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?ids=xi5r9k
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?id=xi5r9k
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?parent_id=xi5r9k
- https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?link_id=xi5r9k
Some of these produce a result, but none of the results correspond to what I want.
Does anyone know if you choose a comment on Reddit, can you retrieve all replies for that comment using the Reddit API?
Thank you!
