Can we get more than 30 videos per channel ?

No, the scrapper works using pure html (no javascript), so we can't scroll the page down to load more videos. That's one of the reason why this scrapper is so cheap.

Can we get the comments count ?

No unfortunately, the comments are not available anymore. If you need them, we need to open the video page using a javascript brower. You can do so using our other actor: Youtube Comment Scrapper (https://console.apify.com/actors/XnqtbgZTKHaQAGEIS/)
