Retrieving comments from Reddit's API

api, getjson, javascript, json, reddit

Solution

The reddit json contains two objects: the post, and the comments. The comments are located at data[1] This should work:

$.getJSON("http://www.reddit.com/r/" + sub + "/comments/" + id + ".json?", function (data){
  $.each(data[1].data.children, function (i, item) {
    var comment = item.data.body
    var author = item.data.author
    var postcomment = '<p>[Author]' + author + '<br>' + comment + '</p>'
    results.append(postcomment)
  });
});

Problem

So I've written some code that searches reddits api based on a query and I want it to display comments as well. I have the following code nested inside my `$.getJSON` statement that pulls each title/post based on your search query, and now I want to display the comment tree for each result thats found (hence why I have it nested in my original getJSON statement) ``` $.getJSON("http://www.reddit.com/r/" + sub + "/comments/" + id + ".json?", function (data){ $.each(data.data.children, function (i, item) { var comment = item.data.body var author = item.data.author var postcomment = '<p>[Author]' + author + '<br>' + comment + '</p>' results.append(postcomment) }); }); ``` I have a feeling I may be structuring the `$.each` statement wrong or something. I'm just following what I did for the other getJSON statement. Any ideas?
