How to get all Rebuttals

For some venues, rebuttals are made by a specific invitation. PCs select the value for this in the venue configuration form in the 'Number Of Rebuttals' field.

Using the Rebuttal invitation

If the venue used a Rebuttal invitation (most common scenario), then you can use the following steps to collect all rebuttals for the venue.

1. Install and instantiate the Python Client

2. Get all submissions (with direct replies)

venue_id = VENUE_ID
venue_group_settings = client.get_group(venue_id).content
submission_invitation = venue_group_settings['submission_id']['value']
submissions = client.get_all_notes(
    invitation=submission_invitation,
    details='directReplies'
)

3. Filter replies for Rebuttals

rebuttals = []
for s in submissions:
    for r in s.details['directReplies']:
        if any(invitation.endswith('Rebuttal') for invitation in r['invitations']):
            rebuttals.append(r)

Using Official Comments to get rebuttals

An alternative method, which for example can be used for venues that do not have a specific rebuttal invitation, you can get official comments for the venue, then filter the comments to those signed by the authors. Please note that this may include some non-rebuttal comments. See: How to get all official comments for further description.
