# YouTube comment scraper: run it free, or from your agent

The top comments of any public YouTube video with author, likes and replies, as a table you can export.

## Prompt

Use looot to read the comments of this YouTube video: [link]. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Find a YouTube video comments endpoint in the catalog and check its price. 3. Pull the first three pages of top comments. 4. Return a table of author, comment and likes, then the five questions or complaints that come up most, and the total cost.

## What it needs

A YouTube video link

## What comes back

- author
- comment text
- likes
- replies
- posted
- author channel link

## Endpoints and providers

- scrapecreators: scrapecreators-youtube-video-comments
- anysite: anysite-api-youtube-video-comments

## What it costs

The tool on the web page runs live at no cost to you and is limited per hour. The results come from public data through looot. For heavier or repeated use, run the same job from your own looot account: looot bills per call and charges nothing while your agent is idle. The live price comes from the catalog and shows on the web page.

## Audience research

Read what viewers ask and complain about under a competitor's video.

## Next video ideas

The questions in the top comments are topics your audience already wants.

## Giveaway shortlist

Export the comments to a sheet to review entries by hand.

## Agent summaries

Have your agent read hundreds of comments and group them by theme.

## How do I export YouTube comments?

Paste the video link in the box at the top of this page and run it. Then use the copy CSV or download CSV button under the table.

## How many comments does one run return?

The first page of top comments, the same set YouTube shows first. Your agent can page through more with the continuation token the endpoint returns.

## Does it include replies?

It shows the reply count of each comment. The replies themselves need one more call, which your agent can make through looot.

## Why are the dates relative, like 5 years ago?

YouTube shows comment dates as relative text, and the page keeps that text rather than guess an exact day.

## Does it work on Shorts and live videos?

Yes, as long as the video is public and has comments turned on. Paste the Shorts or live link as it is.

## Is this YouTube comment scraper free?

Yes. Each run on this page costs you nothing and is limited per hour. For many videos, your agent runs the same endpoint on your own looot account at the per-call price shown above.

## Can I pick a random comment winner here?

Not on this page. Export the comments to CSV and pick a row with any random number tool, or ask your agent to do it.

## How do I run this from an agent?

Copy the prompt above, add the video link and give it to your agent with the looot skill.md link. It pages through the comments and summarizes them.
