Learn More
What specific information can the tool extract for each comment?
- Basic info: comment ID, text, timestamp, video URL
- Engagement: likes, reply count
- Author info: username, channel URL
- Creator interactions: whether the author liked/replied
- Replies: full nested reply chains with the same fields
How is data security and compliance ensured?
HTTPS encryption and fair-use scraping policies guarantee compliance with legal and privacy standards.
Do I need technical skills to use this tool?
Not at all. Just enter a video ID, and the tool handles everything. Choose JSON/CSV when downloading — no coding needed.
Can I scrape all comments from a channel, not just one video?
Yes. Input a channel URL to bulk scrape comments across multiple or all videos.
Are replies structured in the output?
Yes. Replies are clearly nested in JSON/CSV so you can distinguish parent comments from replies.
