YouTube Comments Scraper: Comments, Replies & Likes

Scrape comments and replies from any YouTube video or Short, or from a whole playlist or channel, in one run. You get the text, author, like count, reply count, date, and the pinned and creator-hearted flags. Order them Top or Newest first, the same way YouTube does.

No YouTube API key, no quota limits, no browser, no login. You pay only per comment delivered.

What you can paste

• Video URLs: youtube.com/watch?v=..., youtu.be/..., youtube.com/shorts/..., youtube.com/live/...
• Plain 11-character video IDs
• Playlist URLs: youtube.com/playlist?list=...
• Channel URLs: youtube.com/@handle, youtube.com/channel/UC... (newest videos first, optionally Shorts)

Pricing

Pay per comment or reply delivered. Proxies and compute are included. Videos with comments turned off cost nothing.

Notes

• YouTube shows like counts rounded above 1,000 (for example 291K), so likeCount is the rounded value.
• publishedTimeText is the relative date YouTube shows ("6 years ago", "2 days ago").
• Max comments (total) caps the whole run, which is useful for big channels.
