# YouTube comments posted in the last week

**Use case:** 

Recent comments only, sorted newest first and cut to the last seven days. YouTube never returns a real date for a comment, only text such as 5 days ago, so this uses the approximate number of days derived from that text and says so in the column name. Comments whose text cannot be read are kept rather than thrown away, so nothing disappears silently.

## Input

```json
{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psuRGfAaju4"
  ],
  "maxCommentsPerVideo": 60,
  "maxRecords": 40,

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [YouTube Comments Scraper - Comments, Replies, Likes & Authors](https://apify.com/neverempty/youtube-comments-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/neverempty/youtube-comments-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
