YouTube Comments Scraper
Collect public YouTube comments with commenter, engagement, video, and channel context from one or more video URLs.
Descripción general
Turn public YouTube conversations into a structured dataset without manually opening each video and copying comments one by one. For every available top-level comment, the result keeps the comment text together with its public author handle, engagement signals, and the video and channel context needed to interpret it.
This combination is useful when a research, marketing, support, or content team needs more than an isolated quote. It lets analysts connect what viewers said with the video they reacted to, distinguish creator participation from audience participation, and retain visible engagement snapshots for later comparison.
Data notes
The data comes from publicly accessible YouTube video pages and their visible comment sections. Each record represents one top-level comment. Comment ID identifies the comment, while Video ID and Video URL identify the video that received it. Reply Count reports the number of replies shown for that comment, but reply messages are not separate records in this dataset.
Comment Time preserves YouTube's displayed text and may be relative, such as “10 years ago,” rather than a normalized timestamp. Comment Like Count, Video Like Count, Video View Count, Video Comment Count, and Channel Subscribers are text snapshots observed at collection time and can change later. Channel-owner Comment, Creator Heart, and Comments Disabled are also supplied as source text rather than converted booleans. Private, removed, restricted, or comment-disabled videos may not provide comment records.
What the results look like
Each record represents one public top-level YouTube comment and its video context.

Use cases
- For audience feedback analysis, group Comment Text by Video Title to identify recurring questions, objections, praise, and requests around each video.
- For engagement review, compare Comment Like Count and Reply Count to find comments that generated the strongest visible reaction from other viewers.
- For creator-community analysis, use Channel-owner Comment and Creator Heart to distinguish direct creator participation from ordinary audience discussion.
- For channel research, combine Channel Name, Channel Subscribers, Video View Count, and Video Like Count to retain the public context surrounding each collected comment.
Alcance y límites
Each run accepts 1 to 10,000 public YouTube video URLs; an optional limit can request 20 to 5,000 comments per video, while unavailable, private, restricted, or comment-disabled videos may return no comment records.
- Adecuada para
- Use it when you need public comment text and engagement details for one or more YouTube videos.
- Use it to study audience questions, reactions, recurring topics, or creator interaction around public videos.
- No usar para
- Do not use it for private, removed, age-restricted, region-restricted, or otherwise inaccessible videos.

}Integración
Esta App se puede integrar mediante MCP, API, SDK o exportación de archivos — todos los canales comparten las mismas capacidades y precios. Cada solicitud se autentica con la cabecera Authorization: Bearer usando una API Key (de larga duración, creada en la consola de Data Hub); los clientes MCP también pueden iniciar sesión con OAuth sin clave. Más opciones como CLI y Skill están en camino. Esta App se ejecuta de forma asíncrona y se puede cancelar a mitad de camino: Tras la cancelación, la ejecución se detiene. Los registros ya entregados se conservan y se facturan.
Con MCP (Model Context Protocol) puedes llamar a esta App directamente desde clientes de IA como Claude y Cursor. Elige tu cliente y el modo de autenticación, y copia la configuración de abajo.
Configuración del cliente
Sustituye el valor tras Bearer por tu API Key de larga duración. Funciona en cualquier cliente, CI o entorno sin interfaz.

¿No quieres editar configuraciones a mano? Copia el prompt de instalación y pégalo en cualquier cliente de IA: completará la configuración a su manera. (El prompt le pide a la IA que te solicite tu API Key, de modo que las credenciales nunca queden en el historial de chat ni en configuraciones compartidas.)
