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

counts-onlyBoolean If specified, a single count field is returned with the number of results, instead of the results themselves.
interdiff-revisionInteger The second revision in an interdiff revision range. The comments will be limited to this range.
lineInteger The line number that each comment must start on.
max-resultsInteger The maximum number of results to return in this list. By default, this is 25. There is a hard limit of 200; if you need more than 200 results, you will need to make more than one request, using the “next” pagination link.
order-byString Comma-separated list of fields to order by.
startInteger 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.
