Automate recurring comment exports

Use API access to pull comments into internal dashboards, spreadsheets, research pipelines, moderation tools, or client reporting systems.

Designed around plan limits

API routes enforce authentication, quota, and plan limits server-side so automated workflows stay predictable.

Use structured outputs from the start

JSON responses include comment data and quota metadata, making it easier to integrate with scripts, databases, and analytics jobs.
