Export comments without coding

Paste the video or post link below and press "Export all comments": you get every comment as Excel, CSV or JSON without an API key, a developer account, Python or a browser extension. The coding route works only for YouTube, and only after setting up a Google Cloud project; the other platforms don't offer an open comment API for this.

Free: the count and the first 500 comments. · Several links?

Email me new comments

We check this post on a schedule and email you the comments posted since the last check. They also wait on your account page as a file, for 30 days.

With words set, you're emailed only when a new comment mentions one of them; every new comment still goes in the file.

Step by step

  1. Paste the link

    A YouTube video, Short or past live stream, a TikTok, an Instagram post or reel, an X post or a Reddit thread.

  2. Check the count and the first comments

    Free: the count and the first 500 comments.

  3. Export all comments

    The price shows first: 300 points per 1,000 rows, $3 at the base rate. Paying for just one export, without signing up first, starts at $9.99.

Why the API route is hard

What you get instead

One row per comment or reply, the same columns in Excel, CSV and JSON. Small posts finish while you wait (a 1,915-comment YouTube video took 16 seconds on November 13, 2026); big ones run in the background, up to 1,000,000 rows, and you get an email with the link.

Questions

Is this using the official YouTube API?

Yes, YouTube comments come from YouTube's official Data API. The other platforms' public comments are read through a data provider.

Can I use it from code anyway?

Yes: the Claude and ChatGPT connector is a remote MCP server for TikTok, Instagram, X and Reddit, so AI tools and agents can call it.
