# Export comments without coding

https://aicommentexporter.com/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.

Tool on the page: [YouTube Comment Exporter](https://aicommentexporter.com/youtube-comment-exporter/)

## 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

- YouTube: the Data API needs a Google Cloud project, an API key and code that pages through results 100 comments at a time, plus more code for replies. The default quota is 10,000 units a day; each page of comments costs 1 unit.
- TikTok: the Research API is for approved academic researchers, not for anyone with a link.
- Instagram: the official API reads comments on your own business account's posts only.
- X: the API is paid, and replies need search queries on top of reading posts.
- Reddit: commercial use of the API needs a separate agreement with Reddit.

## 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.
