# Get Post Comments

> The comment thread on a Facebook post — author, message, reactions and reply counts, cursor-paginated.

Fetch the comment thread on a post. The first page comes from the post's own
server-rendered shell; deeper pages replay Facebook's comment-list GraphQL
query — which is why this endpoint costs double.

**Credits:** 10

## Authorization

<ParamField header="X-API-Key" type="string" required>
  Your ScrapeBadger API key.
</ParamField>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="post_id" type="string" required>
  Post id — numeric or `pfbid`. Ignored when `url` is supplied, but still
  required as a path segment (pass any placeholder, e.g. `0`).
</ParamField>

## Query Parameters

<ParamField query="url" type="string">
  Full post permalink or reel URL. **Overrides `post_id`.**
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="after" type="string">
  Pagination cursor — the `end_cursor` from a previous response.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="sort" type="string" default="relevance">
  One of `relevance`, `newest`, `most_relevant`.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="comments" type="Comment[]">
  Each `Comment` includes `id`, `message`, `author` (Actor — `id`, `name`,
  `url`, `profile_picture`, `is_verified`, `typename`), `creation_time_utc`,
  `created_at`, `reaction_count` and `reply_count`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="count" type="integer">Number of comments in this page.</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="total_count" type="integer">
  Facebook's own reported comment total for the post. It can exceed the number
  of comments actually reachable through pagination.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="end_cursor" type="string">Pass as `after` for the next page.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="has_next_page" type="boolean">Whether more comments are reachable.</ResponseField>

<Warning>
  `total_count` is what Facebook advertises, not what it will serve. Treat
  `has_next_page: false` as the real end of the thread — deep comment
  traversal is silently capped.
