What

Given one or more MSN article ids, resolves each one's comment thread and pushes every comment (full text, author, score, timestamp) to the dataset, paginated automatically.

Why

MSN article pages carry real reader discussion, not just view counts. This pulls the full comment text without building your own scraper against MSN's web frontend.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
`market`	string (select)	Yes	MSN locale/market code the article ids were found under, e.g. `en-us`.
`ids`	array of strings	Yes	One or more article ids to fetch comments for (from `msn-news-search-scraper`'s `items[].id`).
`maxCommentsPerArticle`	integer	No	Stop once this many comments have been pushed for a given article. Omit to fetch all.

Output

One dataset row per comment:

{
    "articleId": "AA2edOWm",
    "commentId": "0881b37f-991e-4f99-abf1-619275516c4c",
    "parentId": null,
    "body": "The media is invested in the perception that...",
    "score": 7902,
    "createdTime": "2026-10-14T16:28:18Z",
    "authorId": "cid-c4eisdndptpc7vr3p79b63q6bd5v8xngnb889j8vr9njf6xf25fa",
    "authorName": "Purple voter",
    "market": "en-us"
}

Pricing

Pay-per-event: comment — one charge per comment pushed.

Known limitations

An article id with no comment thread yet (too new, or comments disabled) is skipped with a warning in the run log, not a hard failure for the whole run.
Reply threading is preserved via parentId, but this Actor does not reconstruct a nested tree — that's left to the caller.
This is an unofficial, reverse-engineered integration, not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft Corporation. Behavior may change if MSN changes its API.
