# Reddit User Comments API Documentation

<p><strong>Reddit User Comments API</strong> 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.</p><p>Every list has <code>pagination</code> with <code>limit</code>, <code>after</code>, <code>next_after</code> and <code>has_more</code>. Pass <code>next_after</code> as <code>after</code> 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.</p>
