For more information, see:\n\n- [Exporting ticket events](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api#exporting-ticket-events) in [Using the Incremental Exports API](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api)\n- [Time-based incremental exports](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api#time-based-incremental-exports) in [Using the Incremental Exports API](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api)\n\nYou can include comments in the event stream by using the `comment_events`\nsideload. See Sideloading below. If you don't specify the sideload, any comment\npresent in the ticket update is described only by Boolean `comment_present`\nand `comment_public` object properties in the event's `child_events` array.\nThe comment itself is not included.\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n * Admins\n\n#### Sideloading\n\nThe endpoint supports the `comment_events` sideload. Any comment present in the ticket\nupdate is listed as an object in the event's `child_events` array. Example:\n\n```js\n\"child_events\": [\n {\n \"id\": 91048994488,\n \"via\": {\n \"channel\": \"api\",\n \"source\": {\"from\":{},\"to\":{},\"rel\":null}},\n \"via_reference_id\":null,\n \"type\": \"Comment\",\n \"author_id\": 5031726587,\n \"body\": \"This is a comment\",\n \"html_body\": \"<div class=\"zd-comment\"><p dir=\"auto\">This is a comment</p>\",\n \"public\": true,\n \"attachments\": [],\n \"audit_id\": 91048994468,\n \"created_at\": \"2009-06-25T10:15:18Z\",\n \"event_type\": \"Comment\"\n },\n ...\n],\n...\n```\n"
