Comments of timetree events are not exported

[conipoi]

When I exported my timetree data I noticed that comments that I had added to my events were not exported. That was unfortunate for me because for I while I used comments and notes synonymously. When looking at the event structure that we export from the timetree webpage, I however also don't see where the comments are stored. They're not part of the event object.

Maybe this is a known issue? If so, it should be mentioned so that people are aware of it when exporting their data.

If it's not a known issue, do you have an idea how to get the comment data? @eoleedi

As far as I see, the activities can only be fetched on an event basis and are not fetched at the sync step when logging in (as this data is not needed on a global level, but only when opening an event)

@conipoi I thought that comments are stored in the "note".
I've tested that those notes can be exported.

@eoleedi there is a difference in Timetree between "notes" and "comments", see this video where I show both:

@conipoi Oh... I see.
That's indeed an unknown issue.
The comments are fetched per event basis (when clicking an event), and therefore not included in the "sync" data package.

Perhaps we would need to fetch the data one by one using the event IDs.
Using "https://timetreeapp.com/api/v1/calendar/{calendatID}/event/{eventID}/activities?since=0" endpoint

However, automation of the whole data-fetching process is needed.
