## Post Comments

To page the comments on a community post, call:

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://scrapebadger.com/v1/youtube/posts/UgkxAbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz/comments" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

This returns a `CommentsResponse` (the same `comments` + `continuation` shape as [video comments](/api-reference/endpoint/youtube/video-comments)).
