Notes

• Like counts are shown by YouTube in rounded form (e.g. "14K"). They are converted to numbers (14000), so large counts are approximate.
• publishedTimeText is relative ("2 days ago"), as displayed by YouTube.
• maxComments counts top-level comments. Replies come on top when enabled.

FAQ

Do I need a YouTube API key? No.

Is it legal? Comments are public, but they are personal data of their authors. Use them responsibly, in line with GDPR and YouTube's terms. Avoid building profiles of individuals.
