# List the comments of a mention

`GET /v1/mentions/{id}/comments`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mentio.dev`
- URL: `https://api.mentio.dev/v1/mentions/{id}/comments`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The comments under a mention's post, newest first: every comment in the thread, whether or not it names your keyword. Read once, about a day after the post, for mentions scored relevant whose keyword has comments enabled (keywords.comments), on Hacker News, Bluesky, GitHub, Stack Overflow, DEV, YouTube and Reddit; empty before that and for other keywords. Each comment delivered costs $0.008 on the comments line of the bill, once per workspace. A comment that itself names one of your keywords is also a mention: `mentionId` links it. Two mentions of one post (two keywords) list the same thread.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required: Mention id (mm_...).

## Query parameters

- `cursor` string: nextCursor from the previous page.
- `limit` integer: Page size, 1 to 100.

## Response `200`

One page of the thread, newest first

- object
  - `data` MentionComment[], required

      - `avatarUrl` string, nullable, required: Their profile picture, when the platform sends one.
    - `parentCommentId` string, nullable, required: The comment this one answers, when it is a reply inside the thread; null for a comment on the post itself.
    - `engagement` object, nullable, required: Engagement counts as the platform reported them when the post was ingested, usually minutes after it was written; a count the platform does not have is null.

      - `sentiment` 'positive' | 'neutral' | 'negative', nullable, required: Classifier sentiment.
      - `intents` string[], required: Intent and topic tags, the same vocabulary as a mention's.
    - `mentionId` string, nullable, required: When this comment itself names one of your keywords, its mention (mm_...), with the full verdict. Null otherwise.
