YouTube URLs or video IDs

urls

Required

One per line. Video URLs (watch?v=, youtu.be/, /shorts/, /live/, /embed/) or 11-character video IDs, playlist URLs (/playlist?list=...), and channel URLs (/@handle, /channel/UC..., /c/name, /user/name, optionally ending in /videos, /shorts or /streams). Playlists and channels are expanded to their latest videos.

Type:array

Max comments per video

maxComments

Optional

Stop each video after this many saved items (comments plus their replies). Large videos have millions of comments, so this keeps runs and cost predictable.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:100

Sort comments by

sortBy

Optional

Top comments (YouTube's default ranking) or newest first. YouTube's Top list ends after about 1,000-1,250 comments on big videos; if you ask for more, the Actor continues with newest first and skips duplicates. Monitoring mode and the date filter always use newest first.

Type:string

Default:top

Options:

topnewest

Include replies

includeReplies

Optional

Also save the replies under each comment (each reply is one result, with parentCommentId). Replies count toward Max comments per video.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max replies per comment

maxRepliesPerComment

Optional

With Include replies on: save at most this many replies per comment. Leave empty for all replies (still capped by Max comments per video).

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Only comments newer than

commentsNewerThan

Optional

Only comments newer than: a date (YYYY-MM-DD) or a period such as '7 days' or '24 hours'. Uses newest-first order and stops paging once a whole page is older. YouTube shows relative dates ('3 weeks ago'), so the cut is approximate.

Type:string

Max videos per playlist / channel

maxVideosPerSource

Optional

For each playlist or channel URL, take this many videos (playlist order, or newest first for channels). Video URLs are always processed.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5000

Default:10

Which list a channel URL is expanded from, unless the URL itself ends in /videos, /shorts or /streams.

Type:string

Default:videos

Options:

videosshortsstreams

Max results (total)

maxItems

Optional

Stop the whole run after this many comments and replies are saved. Each saved comment or reply is one charged result, so this caps the cost.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:1000

Only new or changed items

onlyNewOrChanged

Optional

Remember which comments earlier runs of this input returned and output only new comments (newest first). Use with a Schedule; paging stops as soon as it reaches comments an earlier run already saw, and those are not charged.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Monitoring key

monitoringKey

Optional

Name for this watch, so several schedules on the same videos stay separate; defaults to a key derived from the input

Type:string

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Apify Proxy (datacenter) works for YouTube comments and is the cheapest option. Switch to RESIDENTIAL only if runs report rate limits. Comment pages are trimmed to about 10 KB each on the wire.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
