issues
List issue comments for a repository
You can use the REST API to list comments on issues and pull requests for a repository. Every pull request is an issue, but not every issue is a pull request.
By default, issue comments are ordered by ascending ID.
This endpoint supports the following custom media types. For more information, see "Media types."
- application/vnd.github.raw+json: Returns the raw markdown body. Response will include body. This is the default if you do not pass any specific media type.
- application/vnd.github.text+json: Returns a text only representation of the markdown body. Response will include body_text.
- application/vnd.github.html+json: Returns HTML rendered from the body's markdown. Response will include body_html.
- application/vnd.github.full+json: Returns raw, text, and HTML representations. Response will include body, body_text, and body_html.
