Exporting replies and nested threads

How replies are captured and how to identify them in the output.

2 min read·Exports

Every export includes replies by default. In the output, each reply has a parent_id that links it to the comment it replies to.

Identifying replies

  • parent_id is empty for top-level comments.
  • parent_id contains the id of the parent comment for replies.
  • JSON exports include a nested replies[] array on each comment for convenience.
