Adding Google Comments to Website?

So Google has their own comment system, similar to Facebook Comments or Disqus. The problem I am having is the complete lack of documentation on this feature. For instance, I know I can use this code to add a comment box:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<div class="g-comments"
    data-href="[URL]"
    data-width="642"
    data-first_party_property="BLOGGER"
    data-view_type="FILTERED_POSTMOD">
</div>

But how do I customize this further? What do first_party_property and "view_type" mean? What are the other options for that data? How can I make the width responsive? How do I define moderators? Etc...

Anyone got any ideas?

There is no documentation because it's a private widget not designed for third-party use. Use it at your own risk as the tag format may change or the API may disappear altogether. The only way to know what the properties mean is to reverse engineer it or Google for info from others reverse engineering it.
