Questions about getRedditPostWithCommentsById
Get Reddit post by ID with its comments. Returns both the post data and comments in a single response. FAST (default, omit responseType or responseType="fast"): Returns post and up to 300 comments directly (use limit param to reduce, e.g. limit=5). Auto API fallback for fresh data. Results include guidance for full mode. PAGING (responseType="paging"): Async paginated results (100 comments/page), returns operationId for polling via checkOperationStatus. Supports pageNumber/tableName for subsequent pages. RESPONSE STRUCTURE: Returns { results: { post: {...}, comments: [...] }, count, guidance }. PAGING MODE DETAILS: FIRST CALL: Omit pageNumber and tableName. Creates cached table for comments, returns page 1 with post data and pagination metadata. SUBSEQUENT PAGES: Use tableName from first response with pageNumber (2, 3, etc.) to fetch additional comment pages. Post data is NOT returned on subsequent pages. FIELD SELECTION: Use postFields for post data optimization, commentFields for comment data optimization. First searches database for both post and comments, then external API if data is stale or missing. This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information.
