The comments of a Reddit post
crawl4ai.reddit.post.commentsEvery comment Reddit sends for one post, flattened in reading order: author, score, text, depth in the thread, time, id, the parent's id and the comment's own link. `url` is the post's page or its id; `sort` top, best, new, controversial or old; `limit` caps the rows (up to about 500). `session` (your `reddit_session` cookie, used for this run only, never stored) is optional. Without `session` it reads Reddit's public JSON as a visitor (a few seconds; Reddit refuses some of our addresses); when Reddit refuses, a slower second source answers (about 40 s, replies one level deep). Columns: author, score, text, depth, created, id, parent, url.
