@Lucas_Alves … must be so frustrating to just get no instructions, but also to completely miss any doc about it. Like, at least, for _me_ it is frustrating.

Now, since I found your post here which was exactly what _I_ was looking for, let me share how I detect if it is a “comment” (strictly speaking a POST that is a FOLLOW UP of any kind to the TOPIC)

1. the `post_type` is `1`
2. the `post_number` is greater than `1`
3. the `version` is `1`

If you want to specifically get only _replies_ to a specific _other coment_ you could use `reply_to_post_number` (if not empty, that is the post number of the post being replied to)

I hope this helps, and I wish, Discourse would call this object property `comment`, not `post`, just like they call `like` for Like actions!
