    Parameters

    ParameterDescription
    filter
    enum{stream, toplevel}
    Default value: toplevel

    SELF_EXPLANATORY

    live_filter
    enum{filter_low_quality, no_filter}
    Default value: filter_low_quality

    For comments on a Live streaming video, this determines whether low quality comments will be filtered out of the results (filtering is enabled by default). In all other circumstances this parameter is ignored.

    order
    enum{chronological, reverse_chronological}

    Preferred ordering of the comments. Accepts chronological (oldest first) and reverse chronological (newest first). If the comments can be ranked, then the order will always be ranked regardless of this modifier. The best practice for querying comments on a Live video is to continually poll for comments in the reversechronological ordering mode.

    since
    datetime

    Lower bound of the time range to consider

    Fields

    Reading from this edge will return a JSON formatted result:

    { "data": [], "paging": {}, "summary": {} }

    data

    A list of Comment nodes.

    paging

    summary
