Zhihu Answer Comments by Answer ID (Default Order, First Page)

omnial/zhihu-web-fetch-comment

Given a Zhihu answer ID, returns the first page of that answer's comments in Zhihu's default order (10 top-level comments in testing) and the answer's total comment count. For each comment: its ID, plain text with links and markup removed, posting time, like count, reply count, and the commenter's ID, handle and display name; each comment also carries the replies shown under it, with the same fields plus the ID of the comment replied to. A flag says whether further pages exist; no later page is offered.
