HTTP GET¶

Returns the list of comments on a file in a diff.

This list can be filtered down by using the ?line= and ?interdiff-revision=.

To filter for comments that start on a particular line in the file, using ?line=.

To filter for comments that span revisions of diffs, you can specify the second revision in the range using ?interdiff-revision=.

Request Parameters¶

Field	Type	Description
counts-only (optional)	Boolean	If specified, a single `count` field is returned with the number of results, instead of the results themselves.
interdiff-revision (optional)	Integer	The second revision in an interdiff revision range. The comments will be limited to this range.
line (optional)	Integer	The line number that each comment must start on.
max-results (optional)	Integer	The maximum number of results to return in this list. By default, this is 25.
start (optional)	Integer	The 0-based index of the first result in the list. The start index is usually the previous start index plus the number of previous results. By default, this is 0.
