## README

### GitHub Issue Comments API

List the comments on a GitHub issue or pull request by its URL, oldest first, with each commenter's login, their relationship to the repository, reactions and the comment text.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "github/issue-comments", "url": "https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/1838", "limit": 10}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. Lookups that find nothing fail with a not-found error.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | URL of a GitHub issue or pull request, e.g. https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/1838. |
| `cursor` | string | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. |
| `limit` | integer | No | Rows per page, 1-100 (GitHub's own page-size limit). Each call returns one full page of this size; use nextCursor for the next page. Default `100`. |
| `requireFields` | array | No | Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `authorAssociation` or `body`, and it is served only by a source that  |
| `since` | string | No | Only comments last-active on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, about $0.0012 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls and lookups that find nothing are not charged.
