I also wish it provided upvote and downvote totals, and not solely the final score - it'd allow more a lot more experiments of differing ways to display threads and comments.


AFAIK none of the APIs provide comment votes; you can only get the votes on your own comments, and only by scraping the web page :(


Yep true,. I use the same approach to run weekly top 30 hn show newsletter.


I disagree, there's good reason for hiding those totals from users, in any way.


What are the reasons, and are they all trying to prevent gamification or?
