fields parameter

[itang1]

Hi. I'm drawing blank datasets when I try to use the fields param to filter for specific fields (in order to reduce bandwidth).

This is what I want to do:
comments = api.search_comments(subreddit=subreddit, limit=100, before=before, after=after, sort_type="score", fields="body,score,author,created_utc")

This feature is supposed to be supported by Pushshift (Pushshift: Using the fields parameter). However, when I use the PMAW wrapper to do this, it returns me a blank object.

The PMAW wrapper appears to work fine for filtering exactly one field (e.g. fields="body"). Is it possible to filter for more fields with this wrapper?

Hi @itang1 pmaw supports two ways of passing values through the fields parameter:

1. single string field: fields="body"
2. multiple string fields in a list: fields=["body","score","author","created_utc"]
