User comments API not working

Avatar

I try to retreive all the comments of a user through the following call:


http://userecho.com/api/users/[user_id]/comments.json?key=[key]


However it always returns a empty array, even for users of which I'm sure they have placed lots of comments.


Furthermore: is it possible to retreive the statistics through the API? I want to back-up the data and analyse the use of the forum.

Thanks for your swift follow-up.

The statistics that are already in the forum are very useful (and I can create my own statistics from the feedback and comments list, only if I can retreive the comments). 


The page-views and visits (upper statistics graph) are currently not accessible through the API and would be a great bonus. This way I can construct the total visitor statistics from the beginning.

We founded why your API calls not receive data. Because your community is private.

We prepare fast solution to enable API access for you.


Also use https:// prefix for KEY security.

Tell us you plan to call API via browser or via server script?

Hello Sergey, today I started working on the API again.

Retreiving user comments through a script on my local computer doesn't work, if I upload the script to a server it does work. In my browser it also works, however in both ways the list of comments is limited to 50.

The API call for comments on a topic (feedback comments) returns an empty result, both in script and browser.

Is there already some progress in the statistics API?

Using HTTPS in my browser gives a security warning, Chrome recognises the certificate, however it is not complete/outdated.

and by the way, nice mouse-tracking gimmick on your about-page ;)

We support pagination in all requests. By default all queries limited to 50 records.
For pagination we use two params.
page - select page
limit - limit records on page


Will check function that return feedback comments now.
