FAQ

Q: Are YouTube API keys required? A: No, public comment streams are extracted without API quotas.

Q: Do I get the replies to each comment? A: You get replyCount — how many replies a comment has — not their text. Reply threads are a separate continuation that this actor does not follow.

Q: Can I sort by newest? A: No. The request sends no sort parameter, so the order is YouTube's default.
