YouTube Comments Scraper (with Replies)

What does YouTube Comments Scraper do?

It extracts comments and replies from YouTube videos and Shorts, with the comment text, author, likes, reply count, date and the video title.

• 💬 Comments from videos, Shorts, whole channels or playlists
• ↩️ Replies too, placed right after their parent comment
• 🔝 Top comments (YouTube's default order) or newest first
• 👤 Author name, channel ID, verified badge, and whether the author is the video's creator
• 💲 $1 per 1,000 comments. Videos with comments turned off are free.
• ⚡ No login, no API key, no quota limits

Use cases

• Sentiment and feedback analysis: what viewers think about a product, brand or creator
• Market research: questions and pain points people write under competitor videos
• AI and NLP datasets: real comments for training, classification or summarization
• Community management: export and review comments on your own channel
• Lead research: find engaged commenters in a niche
