description	Post description/content
upvotes	Number of upvotes
comment_count	Total number of comments
comments	List of extracted comments
comments.author	Author of the comment
comments.comment	Comment text

The output is structured so you can easily process it in JSON, CSV, datasets, or your own applications.
