YouTube Comments Scraper + Audience Insights

Paste video URLs, video IDs or a channel URL. You get every comment as a row and, optionally, one insights row per video that tells you what the audience is asking for. No YouTube API key and no AI model: the labels come from transparent keyword rules.

What you get

Comment rows (type: "comment"): videoId, commentId, text, author (display name as YouTube shows it), likeCount, replyCount, publishedTime, isReply, parentId, isPinned, isHeartedByCreator, plus rule labels:

Label	Catches (examples)
isQuestion	"?", "how do you…", Turkish "… mi", "neden…"
isContentRequest	"make a video about…", "part 2", "can you review…", "devamı gelsin", "2. bölüm", "lütfen … yapın"
isComplaint	"boring", "clickbait", "too many ads", "sıkıcı", "yanlış bilgi"
isPraise	"great video", "thank you", "emeğinize sağlık", ❤️ 🔥 👏
willingToPay	"I'd pay", "where can I buy", "take my money", "nereden alabilirim", "kaç para"

Insights rows (type: "insights", one per video): count and share of each label, a tone score, the top 10 questions and top 10 video requests ranked by likes (verbatim, shortened), top complaints, purchase-intent comments, top keywords and two-word phrases (stopwords removed for EN, TR, ES, DE), most-liked themes, and the keywords inside requests and questions. The creator's own replies are left out of the insights.

Errors (type: "error") are listed for videos that are unavailable, private or have comments turned off. They are free.

Who it is for

• Creators and agencies choosing the next video from what viewers ask for
• Product and marketing teams mining reviews and questions under competitor videos
• Researchers who need clean comment data

Input example

{"videos": ["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd"],

Output example (insights row, shortened)

{"type": "insights", "videoId": "NiCgcUTL9_Q", "sort": "newest", "commentsAnalyzed": 299, "contentRequestCount": 30, "sentimentLabel": "positive",
 "topContentRequests": [{"text": "I would love to see a video about submarine cables and fiber amplifiers!!!! thx", "likeCount": 0}],
 "topBigrams": [{"term": "submarine cables", "comments": 18, "likes": 0}]}

Speed and limits

About 100 comments per 1-3 seconds per video; 3 videos run in parallel by default. Rules are tuned for English and Turkish, with basic Spanish and German. Rule labels are signals, not perfect classification: sarcasm and very short comments can be mislabelled.

Reliability

Comments are read with the open-source yt-dlp library. On a block or network error the Actor retries with a new proxy session and backoff, up to 4 times per video. A video that still fails returns an error row and is not charged. You pay only for comment rows and insights rows that were delivered.
