Reddit User Comments API lists the comments a user wrote. Each comment has id, body, score, subreddit, the id, title and permalink of the post it belongs to, the parent, created_at, edited_at and the flags is_submitter, stickied and distinguished. An unknown or suspended user returns 404.
Every list has pagination with limit, after, next_after and has_more. Pass next_after as after to read the next page. A page is never another page's data under a new label. Reddit ends every list after about 1000 items.
