Usage notes

Known limitations

Only the first page, up to 20 answers, is returned.
Answers are under target; folded answers are absent.
Result order is set by the platform and does not explain ranking causality.
Nested objects such as the author are returned as upstream sends them, minus tokens, account-binding flags, privacy settings, and tracking fields; avatar and media links inside them may expire.
