Quick start

How to analyze YouTube comments

Paste a public video, get a ranked comment sample.

  1. Step 1

    Paste a video

    Use a watch URL, Shorts link, youtu.be short link, or the 11-character video id.

  2. Step 2

    Pull top comments

    We load top comments from the public video — sorted by top.

  3. Step 3

    Read the sample

    See likes, reply counts, question counts, frequent words, and the highest-liked threads.

What you get

A useful sample without opening YouTube Studio

Built for creators, agencies, and researchers who need a fast read on audience reaction — not a full listening suite.

01

Top comments by likes

The highest-liked threads from the first page — useful for spotting praise, complaints, and FAQs.

02

Keyword frequency

Simple word counts from comment text (stopwords stripped). Not ML sentiment — a quick scan of what people repeat.

03

Live public data

This page wraps GET /v1/youtube/videos/comments. Paginate and sort with your key when you need more pages.

Free tool

Good for spot checks, not pipelines

Same YouTube comments lookup as the paid API — built for spot checks, not pipelines.

01

Protected by Turnstile

Cloudflare Turnstile keeps bots off the free page.

02

One page per lookup

Free runs return the first comments page (order=top). Use cursor on the paid API for the rest.

03

Public videos only

Disabled comments, private videos, and members-only threads will not return a usable sample.

From code

FAQ

YouTube comment analyzer FAQ

What does the YouTube comment analyzer show?

A first-page sample of top comments with like and reply counts, question counts, frequent words, and the highest-liked threads.

Do I need a YouTube API key?

No. This free tool uses Social Fetch's production comments endpoint. Sign up for an API key when you need higher volume or pagination.

What input formats work?

Watch URLs, Shorts, live, embeds, youtu.be links, and bare 11-character video ids. Channel and playlist URLs are rejected.

Is this the same data as the paid API?

Yes. The page calls GET /v1/youtube/videos/comments with order=top. This free page adds Cloudflare Turnstile.

Is this real sentiment analysis?

No. Keywords are simple word frequencies after stopword filtering. Use the raw comments (or your own model) if you need true sentiment labels.

How many lookups can I run for free?

This free page is for spot checks. Monitoring every upload needs an API key.

Why are some videos empty?

Comments may be disabled, the video may be private, or the first page may be empty. Retry another video, or paginate on the API.

Can I get newer comments instead of top?

This free page always uses order=top. Pass order=newest on the paid API when you want chronological threads.

How do I pull replies under a comment?

Use GET /v1/youtube/videos/comments/replies with the repliesCursor from a parent comment. That path is API-only.

How do I analyze many videos from code?

Call GET /v1/youtube/videos/comments with your API key. This page is for one-off browser checks.

Need more than a spot check?

Sign up for 100 free API credits, then call these tools from your own code — no browser Turnstile in the way.
