Overview

Extract comments from any YouTube video at scale. Paste one or more video links (or IDs), pick top or newest, and get one clean row per comment — the comment text, author, channel, like count, reply count, published time and verified badge. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull straight from the API.

Perfect for audience research, sentiment analysis, creator and competitor monitoring, moderation, market research, and building comment datasets for LLMs.

What you get

One flat, ready-to-use record per comment:

Field	Description
`videoId` / `videoTitle` / `videoUrl`	The source video
`commentId`	Unique comment ID
`text`	Full comment text
`author`	Commenter's display name
`authorChannelId`	Commenter's channel ID
`authorIsVerified`	Whether the author is verified
`authorAvatar`	Author avatar image URL
`likeCount`	Number of likes
`replyCount`	Number of replies
`publishedTime`	When it was posted (e.g. "3 weeks ago")
`collectedAt`	When the row was scraped

How to use

1. Add videos

Paste watch URLs, youtu.be links, Shorts URLs, or bare video IDs:

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    "https://youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0"
  ],
  "sort": "top",
  "maxItems": 500
}

2. Choose sort & limit

Sort comments by — Top comments (most relevant / liked) or Newest first.
Max comments — cap the total across all videos (0 = no limit; the scraper pages through the entire comment section).
