Return comments with WP-API Post data

I'm using the WP-API plugin as a RESTful API to my Wordpress site. I want the comments associated with a post to return from the /posts/:id endpoint. The docs indicate that this is possible by passing a withcomments filter, however I can't get this to work. I've tried the following with no success:

http://climbingnarc.com/wp-json/posts/24001?filter[withcomments]=1

http://climbingnarc.com/wp-json/posts/24001?filter[withcomments]=true

I do know that http://climbingnarc.com/wp-json/posts/24001/comments works, but I don't want to have to make a separate request just for the comment data.

Is there a correct way to use this filter so that comments are returned with the post data?

Try ?_embed=1 in your request; that ought to bring down all embedded data, including comments, alongside the requested post. — K.Adam White

This works for me.

Have the same problem. Working on a mobile app and don't want the users to make unnecessary API calls so I decided to make a plugin for.

Let me know if you find it useful.

This is a bit after the fact, but this worked for me : "/wp-json/posts/{{post id}}/comments/". I'm a big fan of climbing narc! Hope this helps someone

I opened an issue on Github about this and it was marked as Enhancement, so I'm assuming this just doesn't work at this point
