Overview

It is useful for scenarios where users need to gather comments on issues for analysis, reporting, or integration with other workflows. For example, a user might want to fetch all comments on issues in a project repository to monitor feedback or track discussions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all comments from issues in a specific GitHub repository to analyze user feedback.
  2. Retrieve a limited number of issue comments for a project to display recent discussions in a dashboard.
