If you're able to use version 2 of the Rest API, then the endpoint is something like the following:

domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post=1&per_page=2

where the post parameter is the ID of the post for which you're retrieving the comments and per_page is how many to show. If you want a list of all comments, and limit them, then:

domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?per_page=2

You can also append a page parameter to show a different paged value of comments thus:

domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?post=1&per_page=2&page=3

which would return the 5th and 6th comments (page 3 of comments when there are 2 per page) for the post with an ID of 1
