YouTube Comment Monitoring API - Only New Comments
Pricing
from $2.00 / 1,000 comments
Put it on a daily schedule and it returns only the comments that appeared since the last run, so you pay in full only for new activity (a video with nothing new bills a small check) instead of re-downloading the same thread every morning. Sorted newest first. Pay per comment, no run-start fee.
You can access the YouTube Comment Monitoring API - Only New Comments programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.
