Sharepoint GetComments

Question

Hello,
I'm developing utility to migrate data from old SP into new SP.
All functionality already finished, but i have faced with problem, I cannot get Commnets from Old SP 2013 and also cannot access comments assigned to Items in my list.
Is there any way to do it using CSOM?

Hi @Mastahh ☺ ,

For the new SP comments, you can access it through SharePoint Rest API:
_api/web/Lists(guid'8f2bxxxxxe3f')/Items(1)/comments

Post a comment:

You may also take a reference of below blog:

As for the old sp comments, i created an issue trace list and it truly has a built-in comment column. If that's what you want to operated, you can access it via SPServices or directly get it via web service (we cannot pull list item historical values using the REST API)
