GitHub Issue Comments API

Name: GitHub Issue Comments API
Brand: SocialCrawl
Availability: InStock

Scrape GitHub Issue Comments data with one API call. Returns comments under `data.items[]` — each entry includes `id`, `user.login`, `body`, `reactions.total_count`, and `created_at`. Pass either an `/issues/N` or `/pull/N` URL; both resolve to the same comment thread on GitHub's API. Comments are returned in ascending `created_at` order (GitHub does not support re-sorting a single issue's comments).

Returns the comments on a GitHub issue or pull request, oldest first, each with its id, author, body, reaction count, and time posted.

Use it to read the discussion thread on one issue or pull request rather than the item itself.

    params={
    'url': 'https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/27522',
    },
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},

Why SocialCrawl

Why use SocialCrawl for GitHub Issue Comments data?

We handle the complexity of GitHub data extraction so you can focus on building. Unified schema, AI enrichment, and zero platform logic in your code.

One schema for every platform — write your integration once
When an endpoint supports a computed field and the required source inputs are available, normalized records can include fields such as engagement rate, reach, category, and language
No scraping infrastructure to build, no proxies to manage, no rate limits to fight
Current public GitHub data, with the endpoint's documented cache window and 0-credit hits; send Cache-Control: no-cache for a billed refresh

Developer First

How do you scrape social media data in seconds?

The fastest social media scraping API for developers. Scrape profiles, posts, comments, and analytics from 48 platforms covering 10B+ monthly active users.

One schema, every platform

Query 48 platforms with identical response structures. Write your integration once.

Computed fields, not just scraped

When an endpoint supports these metrics and the source provides the required inputs, the normalized record includes engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category, and language — ready to use.

FAQ

Have a question? We got answers

Find answers to frequently asked questions about SocialCrawl's API, pricing, and capabilities.

How do I get comments on a GitHub issue with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/github/issue/comments with the issue or pull request URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns every comment on that thread: author, body markdown, reactions, and creation and update timestamps.

Does it return comments on pull requests too?

Yes. Pass a pull request URL and you get the PR's conversation comments back, the same way an issue URL returns issue comments. Both resolve through this single endpoint since GitHub shares the comment model across them.

What fields does each comment include?

Comment author, body as markdown, reaction counts (thumbs up, heart, and the rest), creation timestamp, last-edited timestamp, and the author's association with the repo (owner, member, contributor, or none).

Can I feed issue threads into sentiment analysis?

Yes. The comments come back as clean markdown with author and reaction data, so they drop into a sentiment or summarisation pipeline. Combine with the issue endpoint for the original post and the top-issues endpoint for an AI verdict.

How much does the GitHub Issue Comments API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier, regardless of how many comments come back. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, enough to pull around 100 full comment threads before you pay.
