Similar to over?points=100 endpoint, is there one for comments?


I am reading this:

https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/master/README.md

> Filter Out Posts Below X Points: Want to catch-up on the best submissions over the last few days? Filter out all posts below a certain threshold with the over?points=100 URL parameter. Examples:

https://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=100

Is there a similar one for filtering out posts with less than X comments?

Context: I am the developer of HACK and some users requested this feature.

The HN Algolia API can do this: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?tags=story&nume...

Points for comments are hidden, so this obviously won’t be possible as one could infer the points each comment has by using such an endpoint repeatedly. So unless the comment points are revealed, this should likely not be a feature.
