Try it
1 · Set your agent up, once
set up 鹦鹉AI — https://parrot.amorist.cn/llms.txt
2 · Then ask for the job
Using 鹦鹉AI, get the comments on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ sorted by relevance. Show me the price first, then group them into the five things people complain about.
A URL or a video id, depending on the tool. Both are one field.
Relevance surfaces the comments people upvoted. Time gets you the newest.
A thousand comments is not an answer. Ask for the themes.
Replies are nested and paginated. Top-level threads are usually enough.
Why 鹦鹉AI
Charged per call. No card, no minimum; top up the prepaid balance.
Another tool is a different word in the prompt, not a new integration.
From the field
The people doing this job are not chasing volume, they are chasing the forty comments that matter. From ~180 Reddit and X posts in August 2026, with the promotional clusters excluded, these five are what they actually complain about.
“a video with 3,000 comments might have 40 that are actually useful to me and the rest is noise”
r/claude, 3 points
What this page can do about it:The most useful document in the whole research pass. They are on version six of that filter and still disagree with their own judgment. No tool on this page fixes that, and any that claims to is selling you something: getting the comments is the cheap half.
“I find myself wanting to search youtube comments all the time. Because youtube lacks this feature (for some reason)”
r/SideProject, 2 points
What this page can do about it:True, and it is the whole reason this job exists. Every tool here hands back the comments as records with author, likes and timestamps, so searching, sorting and grouping them becomes something your agent does rather than something the site has to offer.
“it would also mean spending more api quota to start tracking a third channel from scratch”
r/HiddenTrueCrimeChat, 20 points
What this page can do about it:A researcher dropping a control channel because a third one costs more quota than they have is the clearest argument on this page. Google's route is rationed; the paid tools have no daily ceiling, and you can mix them.
“How has youtube given me the wrong comments section on a video bro 💀”
r/Quadeca, 19 points
What this page can do about it:Comment sections move: held-for-review, author-deleted and creator-hidden comments differ between two calls minutes apart, and the sort you ask for changes which arrive first. No tool here can tell you that you got all of them. Pin the sort order and record when you pulled.
“I want to archive everything from the videos, to the likes, view and comments on it, lives and the same for it”
r/DataHoarder, 20 points
What this page can do about it:That is several jobs chained, not one call: list the channel's videos, then pull comments per video, then paginate each. Your agent can run that loop and 鹦鹉AI prices every step, but it does not run the loop for you, and on a large channel the bill is the sum of the parts.
The detail
Past that you fetch the rest by parent id, so a thread with hundreds of replies is a second and third call rather than a deeper response.
Treat that as a distinct outcome; the scraping tools signal it differently, and on a per-call biller you have still paid for the attempt.
Background
The public comment threads on a video: each comment's text, author name and channel, like count, published and updated times, and the replies underneath it. Comments are paginated, so a video with tens of thousands of them is many calls, and the order you ask for changes which ones arrive first.
Questions
Yes, by paginating. It is one call per page on every tool here, so a heavily commented video costs proportionally more.
Top-level threads come back with their first replies attached. Deeper replies are a further call per thread, which is worth knowing before you ask an agent for everything.
The comments are public and Google's own API serves them, which is the route this page recommends first. The third-party tools read the public page; you are responsible for what you do with the data, including the privacy law that applies to you.
Not in one call. List the channel's videos first, then fetch comments per video. Your agent can chain that; 鹦鹉AI prices each step but does not run the loop for you.
