Scrape YouTube comments

YouTube Comments Scraper is an alternative to the YouTube Data API with no quotas or limits. You give it one or more YouTube video URLs and it collects the comment threads on those videos: comment text, author usernames, posting dates, like counts, reply counts, and replies. It runs in the cloud on the Apify platform, so you can scrape a lot of videos at the same time.

Yes. Add as many video URLs as you need, or import a list from a CSV file or Google Sheet. You can also set a maximum number of comments per video to keep runs predictable, sort by top comments or newest first, and scrape only comments posted after a specific date.

Each record includes the comment text, the author's username, the posting date, like count, reply count, reply threading, and the video title and ID. Export the results in JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull them straight from the Apify API.

Yes, web scraping is legal for gathering public information from websites. But be careful with personal or confidential data, as well as intellectual property, because laws and regulations might protect them. It's good practice to check the website's rules or terms of service to know what's allowed. If you're not sure, getting legal advice can help ensure you're using web scraping correctly and within the law.

Actors are serverless cloud programs that run on the Apify platform and do computing jobs. They’re called Actors because, like human actors, they perform actions based on a script. They can perform anything from simple actions (such as filling out a web form or sending an email) to complex operations (such as crawling an entire website or removing duplicates from a large dataset). Actor runs can be as short or as long as necessary. They could last seconds, hours, or even run infinitely.
