What is YouTube Comments API?

BrowserAct’s YouTube Comments API lets you extract structured video list data plus comment data from YouTube through a single API request.

No scripts, no brittle scraping, no manual export.

Simply pass your keywords, set Comments_limit, and choose Scroll_count. BrowserAct automatically runs the workflow in the background, traverses the video results list, opens each video, loads the comments section by scrolling, and returns clean, ready to use video and comment data directly via API.

What data can you get through YouTube Comments API?

The API returns two linked datasets, designed for immediate analysis and automation.

Video fields

• video_name: Video title shown in the list
• video_url: Video URL
• video_publication_time: Published time (as shown on YouTube)
• video_view_count: View count (as shown on YouTube)

Comment fields

• commenter_name: Comment author display name
• commenter_url: Comment author channel URL
• comment_text: Comment content
• comment_publish_date: Comment publish time (as shown on YouTube)
• comment_likes: Like count for the comment
• reply_count: Number of replies (if available)

Why YouTube Comments API is right for you

• One call integration

Send video plus comment data directly into your CRM, BI tools, databases, or automation workflows via API.

• Zero maintenance

No scraping scripts, no selector babysitting, and no proxy or anti bot setup required.

• Audience insight at scale

Turn comments into product feedback, objections, feature requests, and sentiment signals.

• Built for workflows

Perfect for content research, competitive monitoring, community insight, and topic tracking.

In short

Search → API call → Video list plus comments delivered
