doesn't scrape desired number of comments
Closed
I try to scrape 20k comments from 5 different video (5k comments per video) But the run only scraped 14k comments. I did some quick counting with pivot tables on excel. two of the video has only 500 comments. So the scraper do not return desired number of results. What should I do to get more comments?
Hi, thanks for opening this issue!
Yes, that's correct. The videos themselves only have that amount of top-level comments. There might be a confusion between top-level and reply comments for you. I can see that you've set the maxRepliesPerComment option to 0, so e.g., even though some post may have 10k comments, only 2k of that will be top-level.
I hope this helps, thanks and happy scraping!

Hi, thank you for your prompt response. I don't get it. I thought setting maxRepliesPerComment option to 0 would provide me only the single comments to video. Did I scrape replies too? What should I set to maxRepliesPerComment? I am only interested in users' comments to video.
Oh, basically there are two values:
maxRepliesPerComment- sets the limit for each top-level comment's replies (0 means no replies, 1 means 1 reply per top-level comment, etc.)commentsPerPost- sets the total limit of comments per post (the minimum of 1 will scrape just one comment per post, 10 will scrape 10 comments, etc.)- It's also worth mentioning, that the scraper tries to fill the reply comments into this limit as well. So for a post with 900 replies and 100 top-level comments, you would set this limit to 1000
So, no, you didn't scrape any replies. But you did scrape all top-level comments for each video (unless there were more than 5000 top-level comments for any of the videos)
All comments, including top-level and replies are commented by users under the post. I'm attaching a screenshot that should hopefully make this clear.
Thanks!
