fetch comments on a pull-request using rest api (bitbucket server)

[go-vinda]

As per:

http://example.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/pull-requests/{pullRequestId}/comments

In order to fetch comments on a PR, path is mandatory. In other words, it is only meant to fetch comments on files changed within a PR

We within our enterprise use Bitbucket server on-premise. We are keen to implement a Gitops style process on how we merge pull-requests. So it would be really helpful to get comments on the pull-request itself.

the comments can be commands/instructions very similar to prow project in kubernetes/test-infra.

So, need to fetch comments at PR level (instead of paths) would help.

Some workarounds have been identified in other questions/answers to use

http://example.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/pull-requests/{pullRequestId}/activities

But this would be highly in-efficient as we may have to do increase page-limit to call and then make multiple calls if there are additional pages, and filter comments from all general activities.

Any help to simplify on how we could fetch comments at a PR level will help.
