xueqiu comments supports --limit up to 100

Error message

xueqiu comments supports --limit up to 100

What it means

The xueqiu comments command caps the number of fetched comments at 100. If --limit exceeds 100, an ArgumentError is thrown because the scraper's pagination strategy (pageSize 20, maxRequests 5) can collect at most 100 rows per run.

Solutions

1. Reduce --limit to at most 100.
2. Paginate manually: run the command multiple times if you need more than 100 comments (the API only exposes limited pages anyway).
3. Clamp the value in scripts: --limit "$(( LIMIT > 100 ? 100 : LIMIT ))".

Example fix

// before
clis/xueqiu comments AAPL --limit 500
// after
clis/xueqiu comments AAPL --limit 100

const limit = Number(rawLimit);
if (Number.isInteger(limit) && limit > 100) {
  limit = 100; // clamp instead of failing
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running the xueqiu comments command with --limit greater than 100, e.g. --limit 500 or --limit 1000.

Common situations: Users assuming unlimited scraping like other tools, trying to backfill a long discussion thread in one call, or scripts computing a large limit from a target row count.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Must be a positive integer", "Invalid value", "Unsupported": the invalid-argument-value error family, when a library rejects the value you pass — this error's family across 35 libraries.
