# GitHub Issue Comments

Returns the comments on one issue or pull request, each with the full body, author, reactions, and creation and update dates. An issue with no comments returns an empty list, which is a valid answer.

- **Documentation:** [https://scrappa.co/docs/github-api/github_repository_issue_comments](https://scrappa.co/docs/github-api/github_repository_issue_comments)
- **API group:** GitHub API
- **Endpoint:** `GET https://scrappa.co/api/github/repository/issues/{number}/comments`

## Authentication

Send your Scrappa API key in the `X-API-KEY` request header. Paid endpoints also support accountless x402 payments when called without an API key.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `owner` | string | Yes | Repository owner login or organization, e.g. laravel. |
| `repo` | string | Yes | Repository name without the owner, e.g. framework. |
| `number` | integer | Yes | Issue or pull request number. Must match the path segment when both are given; a conflicting value is a 422, because silently answering about a different resource than the URL names is worse. |
| `page` | integer | No | Page number. Pagination is explicit and per request; pages are never fetched for you. |
| `per_page` | integer | No | Rows per page, 1-100. GitHub caps most list routes at 100. |

## Example request

    -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
    "https://scrappa.co/api/github/repository/issues/{number}/comments?owner=laravel&repo=framework&number=1"

## Errors

| Status | Error | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 422 | Validation Error | A parameter failed validation. |
| 404 | Not Found | GitHub has no public resource at that address. For a repository this also covers a private or renamed repository, which is indistinguishable anonymously. |
| 503 | GitHub Upstream Unavailable | The upstream service is temporarily unavailable. Please retry shortly. |
| 500 | Parser Drift | GitHub returned a response shape this parser does not recognise. The incident has been reported; retrying will return the same result. |
| 406 | Not Acceptable Upstream | GitHub has no JSON representation for this route, or rejected the request headers. Never charged. |
