One other cool trick... you can find the author/permlink for any comment in Steemit by inspecting the HTML for that comment in your browser. In Chrome, right click the comment, then click Inspect. You should be near a piece of HTML that has an

Permlink is what shows up in the URL when you go to a post -- it is the permanent link to that post. In this case of this post:
author: @thescubageekpermlink: steem-api-basics-part-1-parsing-post-payloads-with-rubyAll comments also have permlinks, which are generated according to the rules as I describe in the post above. Your comment, for example, has the following parameters:
author: @augustinanwekepermlink: re-thescubageek-steem-api-basics-part-1-parsing-post-payloads-with-ruby-20180301t024812479zThe cool this is that we can also use the
get_postmethod I wrote above to get information about individual comments (and comment trees!), not just posts.In an upcoming post I'll go into more detail on how the post / comment hierarchy works and how we can grab this data from the API payload.
I hope this helps @augustinanweke...
