How many objects does Facebook return by default?

If I make the query https://graph.facebook.com/[post_id]/comments, how many comments does facebook return in its data array?

Similarly, what is the default number for feed, likes and other 'variable' connections?

I couldn't find documentation on this anywhere, sometimes I see a limit of 25 and sometimes I see a limit of 5000 (etc). I would be glad if someone would point me to the documentation in this case.

If you call https://graph.facebook.com/[post_id]/comments with no limit it will by default return upto 25 results with paging at bottom of array.

You can override the default by using limit, since & until parameters

https://graph.facebook.com/[post_id]/comments?limit=250
// returns 250 results

https://graph.facebook.com/[post_id]/comments?limit=500&since=2+years+ago&until=now
// returns upto 500 posts, ranging back to 2 years ago, until right now.

https://graph.facebook.com/[post_id]/comments?since=last+week&until=yesterday
// returns upto 25 posts ranging from last week, until yesterday.
