🎥 YouTube Comments Scraper

Quickly extract structured comment data from one or more YouTube videos — including comment text, author info, timestamps, votes, and raw fields.

Built to run as an Apify actor. This README shows a summary, inputs, outputs, examples, troubleshooting tips and proxy recommendations. 🔧

✨ Summary

This actor scrapes comments from YouTube video URLs and returns structured JSON objects per video, including:

💬 Comments (text, id, author, replies, likes/votes, timestamps)
👤 Author info (author name, author id, author url, avatar if available)
🧾 Video metadata (video id, video url, title, best-effort commentsCount)
📦 Raw payload — the original raw comment object is preserved for every comment so you don’t lose any fields.

Key points:

Input: one or more YouTube video URLs (startUrls).
Optional: maxComments to limit how many comments per video are scraped.
Optional: getAllComments to ignore maxComments and fetch all available comments.
Optional: sortBy — top (highest votes first) or newest (most recent first).

🚀 Highlights

⚡ Fast, structured output — one JSON object per video run.
🧩 Preserves full raw comment object for custom fields.
🎯 Exact maxComments support (when getAllComments is false) and getAllComments toggle.
🌐 Proxy-aware (Apify Proxy recommended for stability) — use RESIDENTIAL for best results.
🔁 Supports sorting by top or newest.

🛠️ Example Input

{
"startUrls":[
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iSL6sAnqiI",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT4HcYAeV5U"
],
"maxComments":100,
"getAllComments":false,
"sortBy":"top",
}

📤 Output

For every video the actor writes results both to the Apify dataset and to container files:

output_<videoId>.json — full JSON object for the video (including comments array).
comments_<videoId>.jsonl — newline-delimited JSON with one comment per line (good for streaming).
Apify dataset entry for each video — downloadable from the Apify Console. ☁️

Example output (one video object)
