Hello, everybody.

I am currently giving a spin to Context Voice's API, but some of its
behaviour baffles me somewhat. Step by step:

1) I am subscribing (via UberVU) to a blog post (Movable Type
platform, supported as per documentation and detected as such by
UberVU): http://www.theblog.es/mt/archives/2009/10/se_puede_ser_mas_hipocrita.php
2) I have commented on that post, and after subscribing, there was an
answer; currently, the post has two comments.
3) No reactions are showing up at UberVU (CV's API is no different).

The question: am I too mistaken in believing these reactions should be
accounted for by CV? Or is it an intended behaviour that just twits,
FriendFeed posts and so on (i.e., external reactions) are returned?
Thank you for any enlightenment on this issue!

Hi Iván,

There is no comment feed for your blog post.

At the moment we only retrieve comments from feeds, so this is why it's not working for your case.

We will try to do some scraping in the future for the pages without feeds.

Please let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Dan

OK, that's a good enough reason. Scraping seems like a world of
hurt... but I think you should state this (otherwise logical)
limitation more clearly somewhere. I'll continue trying the API out --
thank you for your answer!
