FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does this include replies to comments?
- Yes, YouTube Comments extracts both top-level comments and nested replies. Each reply counts as an individual row toward your total.
- How fresh is the data?
- YouTube Comments fetches data live on every run. There is no internal cache, so you always receive the current state of the comment section.
- Can I pull comments from multiple videos in one run?
- Yes. Pass an array of videos in a single call and YouTube Comments fans out the requests in parallel. The response is one consolidated table with a column noting which video each row came from.
- How do I integrate with Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, or Airtable?
- YouTube Comments returns clean JSON and CSV output. Both formats work with every workflow tool. Pipe them in via a webhook step, file download, or by hitting the REST endpoint on a schedule. Same for Slack notifications, Notion databases, and other downstream systems.
- What fields are returned?
- The output includes the video title, comment text, author name, like count, reply count, and flags for creator hearts. Refer to the output schema for the full list of fields.
