What you get

Every comment becomes one row:

Field	Description
`commentId`	YouTube's own comment ID — stable, good for de-duplication across runs
`text`	The comment itself
`author`	Display name, e.g. `@YouTube`
`authorChannelId`	Channel ID of the commenter
`authorChannelUrl`	Direct link to their channel
`authorAvatar`	Profile picture URL
`authorIsCreator`	Whether the comment is from the video's own channel
`authorIsVerified`	Verified or official-artist channel
`likeCount`	Number of likes
`likeCountText`	YouTube's own display form, e.g. `301K`
`replyCount`	Replies on that thread
`publishedTime`	Relative time as YouTube shows it, e.g. `1 year ago`
`isEdited`	Whether the comment was edited
`isPinned`	Pinned to the top by the creator
`isHeartedByCreator`	Creator gave it a heart
`replyLevel`	`0` for a top-level comment, `1` for a reply
`videoId`, `videoUrl`, `scrapedAt`	Which video the comment came from, and when

Example

{
  "commentId": "Ugzge340dBgB75hWBm54AaABAg",
  "text": "can confirm: he never gave us up",
  "author": "@YouTube",
  "authorChannelUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBR8-60-B28hp2BmDPdntcQ",
  "authorIsVerified": true,
  "likeCount": 301000,
  "likeCountText": "301K",
  "replyCount": 962,
  "publishedTime": "1 year ago",
  "isPinned": true,
  "replyLevel": 0,
  "videoId": "dQw4w9WgXcQ"
}

Input

Option	Description
Video URLs	Watch, share, Shorts or embed links — or bare 11-character video IDs. Required.
Max comments per video	How many to collect per video, up to 20,000. YouTube returns about 20 per request.
Sort by	Top comments (YouTube's default ranking) or newest first.
Include replies	Also collect replies to each comment.
Max items	Hard cap across the whole run.
Proxy configuration	Residential proxy, required and on by default.

Use it for

Audience research — what people actually say under your videos, or a competitor's
Sentiment analysis — feed the text column straight into a model
Creator outreach — find engaged commenters, with channel links included
Moderation review — pull everything newest-first and scan it in a spreadsheet
Trend tracking — re-run on a schedule and diff on commentId

Honest notes

Like counts above 1,000 are approximate. YouTube itself displays 301K rather than an exact figure and publishes the precise number nowhere, so likeCount becomes 301000. Counts under 1,000 are exact. The original display string is kept in likeCountText so you can always see what YouTube actually showed.
publishedTime is relative, not a date — 1 year ago, 7 minutes ago — because that is the only form YouTube returns for comments. Combine it with scrapedAt if you need to anchor it.
Replies are opt-in and count toward your limit. YouTube preloads a teaser reply under popular threads; those are filtered out unless you switch replies on, so a run with replies off returns top-level comments only.
Videos with comments disabled return a clear error row rather than an empty result, so you can tell "no comments" apart from "comments turned off".
Residential proxy is required. YouTube blocks Apify's datacenter IPs. The Actor takes a fresh proxy session per request and retries refusals automatically.

Pricing

Pay per comment actually extracted. Failed or blocked requests cost you nothing, and there is no per-page or per-hour charge — retries are on us.
