Hey hexbears, I want to try and run some data analysis on what emojis are used the most and least often for fun. Does anyone know the API endpoint and how I can use it to try and start extracting raw text from posts and comments? Thanks!!!!

Due to the number of comments just requesting all comments by using /comment/list doesnt work so you have two options:
documentation for /comment/list (there is no documentation for this exact api request but it works exactly like get posts)
documentation for /user
If you have any questions, you can ask me, i have some experience with using api
Thank you bottech! I actually have set up a script which I'll be trying to push later on my main server. It's going to have a decent number of delays built into it so that it'll be more like a trickle over time, but it essentially relies on the fact that every single post is in sequential order and all I have to do is have something that trawls through every post since say post 200000, processes the body, processes the comments, then pastes the resulting emotes into an ever expanding text file which I'll just process later when my adhd brings me back around to this. This might be a really dumb solution, it just seemed good enough to my novice brain.
If you want to do it from post 200000 then your method should work well, though if you ever wanted to go through much larger number of posts it would take a long time
