getGroupWallComments: Get Comments to Posts from a Group Page

In denisStukal/Rvk: Access to VK (VKontakte) API through R

Description

Returns a data.frame with information about comments to posts on a group page.

Usage

getGroupWallComments(group_id, num_posts = 'all', access_token, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

group_id	A numeric ID of the VK group. Available from the group's page (see Details).
num_posts	Number of posts to consider. Either 'all' (default) or a positive integer.
access_token	Your access token (see ?makeAccessToken).
verbose	Boolean: if FALSE (default), informational messages are suppressed.

Details

Many VK groups and users have their ID as part of their URL address (e.g. https://vk.com/publicGROUPID, where GROUPID is a sequence of numbers). In the event a group has a screen name that does not show its ID in the URL, one can access it by clicking on any group post (or photo, video, etc.): the post will open with a new URL of the form https://vk.com/SCREENNAME?w=wall-GROUPID_POSTID). Pass GROUPID (without the minus sign in front of it) to the function call.

Value

Returns a data.frame with columns:

comment_id	A numeric ID of the comment.
commenter_id	A numeric ID of the user who left the comment.
date	Date of the comment.
text	Text of the comment.
likes_count	Number of likes the comment received.
reply_to_user	The numeric ID of the user whom the comment replies to (if the comment is a reply), or NA
reply_to_comment	The numeric ID of the comment which the comment replies to (if the comment is a reply), or NA
user_id_wall	User ID on whose wall the comment was posted.
