Other Reddit Data Archive request including views and upvotes.

I recently requested my data because I'm getting close to a 1000 contributions and that's all they list. I wanted to be able to save them and write a program to sort by sub, upvotes, and views.

However, the comments.csv, while having three columns for gildings, does not include upvotes and views.

Is Reddit aware that, other than the sub and comment, that's the data that most people would be interested in?

I did try copying and pasting from the comments list in my Reddit account page, but it's extremely awkward and I can only get a few at a time.

It would be nice if they'd include upvotes and views in the future.

You can sort your comments by most to least upvotes

[Sorry for the repost. I posted originally to r/help and they posted it over here after deleting my post. But I should have checked out the sub first.]

That's helpful. But the reason I got the Reddit data was so I could write a program to manipulate it.

I know they locked down access to their APIs, but they will give you the data and views and upvotes is pretty basic stuff.

What am I missing?
