Howdy. With the new API, is there a way to get comments? Parameters to the GET request aside, sending a GET to
https://e621.net/comment/index.json or https://e621.net/comment.json redirects to https://e621.net/comments?page= and returns HTML, and sending one to
https://e621.net/comments.json or https://e621.net/comments/index.json returns JSON as if I just asked for posts, and returns no information on comments.
Did I accidentally look over something, or is this no longer/not yet implemented?
it looks like the list endpoint is broken; danbooru has the same problem
fetching a specific comment seems to work okay though:
https://e621.net/comments/100.json
There currently isn't anything for this. It's used to support the show all comments feature internally, so it returns html formatted copies of comments to be inserted. The current "API" isn't really an API, just a mess of internal endpoints that are formatted as json. I'll make sure to fix that up when I start working on an actual API.
i found this subtle detail in the documentation:
The base URL is GET /comments.json.
- group_by Must be: comment, else it will return posts.
so use https://e621.net/comments.json?group_by=comment and i think you'll be fine

That did the trick! Thanks!
