Who it is for: Creators and agencies reading audience feedback, brand and market researchers, sentiment and NLP teams, AI agents.
YouTube shows comments in a long scroll with replies hidden behind clicks. Getting the top 1,000 comments of a video, with replies and like counts, into a spreadsheet is slow by hand.
Give video, channel or playlist URLs. Each run returns one row per comment with text, likes, reply count, replies as their own rows, pinned, edited and creator-heart flags, relative and approximate dates, video context (title, views, comment count) and a direct comment link. Sort by top or newest, filter by keyword or minimum likes.
