Extract YouTube comments from a video URL
Turn YouTube comments and replies into a CSV checked in Google Sheets
Still scrolling through YouTube comments by hand?
What this task does
You run this task with Incredible to extract public YouTube comments from a video URL. It loads comments and reply threads, captures their details, and gives you a checked CSV in Downloads that opens in Google Sheets.
The problem
Marketers and product and engineering teams can spend hours scrolling, expanding replies, and copying YouTube comments by hand. That manual process makes it easy to miss replies or stop before reaching the end.
The solution
Incredible extracts the public comment data in collection order and keeps replies connected to their parent comments. It turns the YouTube discussion into a structured CSV for research and due diligence.

Frequently asked questions
How can I extract YouTube comments from a video URL automatically?
Incredible extracts public YouTube comments automatically from a supplied video URL and saves them as a CSV. It scrolls through the comment section, expands reply threads, reads the available details, and opens the finished file in Google Sheets for checking.
What data can I export from YouTube comments?
The export includes comment text, author name, channel handle and link, timestamp, like count, video ID, and reply count. It also records parent comment identifiers and whether a comment is pinned, creator-hearted, or written by the video's channel.
Can I export YouTube comment replies with their threads?
Yes, the task expands public reply threads and connects each reply to its parent comment. The CSV includes a parent identifier on reply rows so you can reconstruct each discussion.
Does YouTube comment extraction work on large videos?
It can process large public comment sections, but larger videos take longer because YouTube loads comments in batches. If loading stops before every displayed comment is available, the task keeps the collected rows and reports the actual count.
Can I extract YouTube comments without the YouTube API?
Yes, Incredible reads the public comment section in YouTube rather than using the official YouTube API. It loads comments through the browser and writes the collected data to a CSV.
What file format is used to download YouTube comments?
The YouTube comments are saved as a UTF-8 CSV in Downloads. The file contains one row per collected comment or reply and opens in Google Sheets with raw text, line breaks, emoji, and links preserved.
Does this task analyze YouTube comment sentiment?
No, this task extracts comment rows without adding sentiment scores or summaries. You can sort and filter the CSV or run the raw comment text through a classifier afterward.
Is YouTube comment data used to train Incredible?
No. Customer data is not used to train Incredible.
