YouTube Comments Scraper

🚀 YouTube Comments Scraper

Scrape YouTube comments from any video. The YouTube Comments Scraper collects each comment's text, like count, reply count, author name and channel, pinned and "hearted by creator" flags, edit status and post time, with optional replies. Sort by top or newest and paste as many videos as you like. Use it for sentiment analysis, audience and product research, community monitoring, giveaway draws or training data.

✨ Features

• 💬 Full Comment Data: Text, likes, reply count, post time and a direct link to every comment.
• 👤 Author Details: Name (@handle), channel ID and URL, avatar, verified badge and whether the author is the channel owner.
• 📌 Pinned & Hearted Flags: See which comments the creator pinned or hearted.
• ↩️ Replies (Optional): Turn on replies to get each thread right under its parent comment, linked by parentCommentId.
• 🔃 Top or Newest First: The same two orders YouTube offers.
• 📦 Bulk Videos: Many videos per run, each with its own comment limit.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Paste video URLs or IDs – one per line.
2. Choose the order, replies and how many comments per video – the default is 100 top comments.
3. Run the Scraper – comments can be downloaded as JSON, CSV or Excel or pulled through the API.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a YouTube account or API key? No.

Why is the post time "2 years ago" and not a date? That is what YouTube shows publicly for comments; the text is kept as is.

What about videos with comments turned off? They are named in the run's status message; nothing is charged for them.

Do like counts match the site? They are YouTube's displayed counts, so large numbers are rounded the same way (1.2K → 1200).
