YouTube Comments Scraper
Collect public YouTube comments with commenter, engagement, video, and channel context from one or more video URLs.
Übersicht
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.

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.

Fehlerbehandlung
Vom Entwickler deklariertes Fehler- und Wiederholungsverhalten. Wir empfehlen, es bei der Integration in Ihren System-Prompt aufzunehmen.
- 1If a run fails, retry the same small URL set once; if it fails again, split a large batch into smaller groups.
- 2If no records are returned, confirm that the video is public, still available, and has comments enabled before retrying.

}Integration
Diese App kann über MCP, API, SDK oder Dateiexport integriert werden — alle Kanäle teilen sich dieselben Fähigkeiten und Preise. Jede Anfrage authentifiziert sich über den Authorization: Bearer-Header mit einem API Key (langlebig, in der Data Hub Konsole erstellt); MCP-Clients können sich zusätzlich per OAuth ohne Key anmelden. Weitere Optionen wie CLI und Skill sind in Vorbereitung. Diese App läuft asynchron und kann zwischendurch abgebrochen werden: Nach dem Abbruch stoppt der Lauf. Bereits gelieferte Datensätze bleiben erhalten und werden abgerechnet.
Über das MCP (Model Context Protocol) können Sie diese App direkt aus KI-Clients wie Claude und Cursor aufrufen. Wählen Sie Ihren Client und den Authentifizierungsmodus und kopieren Sie dann die Konfiguration unten.
Client-Konfiguration
Ersetzen Sie den Wert nach Bearer durch Ihren langlebigen API Key. Funktioniert in jedem Client, in CI und in Headless-Umgebungen.

Sie möchten Konfigurationen nicht von Hand bearbeiten? Kopieren Sie den Installations-Prompt und fügen Sie ihn in einen beliebigen KI-Client ein — er schließt die Einrichtung auf seine eigene Weise ab. (Der Prompt weist die KI an, Ihren API Key bei Ihnen zu erfragen, damit Zugangsdaten nie im Chatverlauf oder in geteilten Konfigurationen landen.)
