Page Post Comments

Reading

Get comments on a Page post.

The id field for the /PAGEPOST-ID/comments endpoint will no longer be returned for apps using the Page Public Content Access feature. To access the id field for comments for a Page post you must be able to perform the MODERATE task on the Page being queried. This change is in effect for v11.0+ and will be implement for all versions on September, 7, 2021.

New Page Experience

This endpoint is supported for New Page Experience.

Feature Permissions

NameDescription
Page Public Content AccessThis feature permission may be required.

Example

Send a GET request to the /{page-post-id}/comments edge:

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.

Lower bound of the time range to consider
