pagestring

limitstring

The maximum number of items to return. Fewer than the requested number of items may be returned, even if the end of the list hasn't been reached.

cursorstring

Parameter for pagination. File comments are paginated for a single file. Set `cursor` equal to the `next_cursor` attribute returned by the previous request's `response_metadata`. This parameter is optional, but pagination is mandatory: the default value simply fetches the first "page" of the collection of comments. See [pagination](/docs/pagination) for more details.
