### Script

First, we ask the blockchain for the replies on a post or comment.  Then, we grab the authors of those replies and list them, followed by the total comments count.

### To Run

First, set up your workstation using the steps provided in [Getting Started](https://developers.steem.io/tutorials-ruby/getting_started).  Then you can create and execute the script (or clone from this repository):

```bash
git clone git@github.com:steemit/devportal-tutorials-rb.git
cd devportal-tutorials-rb/tutorials/07_get_post_comments
bundle install
ruby comments_list.rb https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/dev-portal-update-new-steem-developer-resources
```
