# Entity Comments

Entities on MangaDex generally support user comments, through our forums and with a layer of integration with our API.

The statistics-tagged endpoints are used to expose the existence (or lack thereof) of a forum thread for this entity, and of the number of comments so far.

These endpoints support both single and batch lookups.

# Example

Taking for example the manga Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!.

Its id is 8b34f37a-0181-4f0b-8ce3-01217e9a602c.

First, we fetch its statistics:

GET https://api.mangadex.org/statistics/manga/8b34f37a-0181-4f0b-8ce3-01217e9a602c

Then we look for the $.statistics.$id.comments property in the response.

# The entity already has a comment thread

Then you receive the thread's id and reply count so far. For example:

{
  "result": "ok",
  "statistics": {
    "8b34f37a-0181-4f0b-8ce3-01217e9a602c": {
      "comments": {
        "threadId": 1069290,
        "repliesCount": 12
      },
      ...
    }
  }
}

This means that its comment thread is at https://forums.mangadex.org/threads/1069290 and has 12 replies.

# The entity doesn't have a comment thread yet

Then comments will have a value of literal null.

{
  "result": "ok",
  "statistics": {
    "8b34f37a-0181-4f0b-8ce3-01217e9a602c": {
      "comments": null,
      ...
    }
  }
}

You may open an entity's comment thread within our website, by clicking the comment counter of that entity.
