Unable to retrieve all comments for video link
Closed
When scraping the YouTube video (which shows ~12,000 comments) using this actor with maxComments set to 10,000, the output only contains 4,673 comments.
What could be causing this discrepancy and how can I ensure complete comment retrieval?
Current configuration: { "commentsSortBy": "0", "maxComments": 10000, "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8d4n9GhBrg", "method": "GET" } ] }

Hi! As it turns out, Youtube will limit comments it shows if you sort by Top comments. If you want to get all the comments, choose to sort by Newest. Here is an example runs with all the comments collected https://console.apify.com/view/runs/04UlgJptWT0GioTZF.
