Overview

The "Get Comments" operation of the YouTube resource in this node allows users to retrieve comments from a specified YouTube video URL. This is useful for scenarios where you want to analyze viewer feedback, monitor engagement, or gather user opinions on a particular video. For example, marketers can use it to collect audience sentiment on promotional videos, content creators can track community interaction, and researchers can analyze public responses.

Properties

Name Meaning
URL The URL of the YouTube video from which to fetch comments.
Limit Maximum number of comment results to return.

Output

The output contains a JSON field with the retrieved comments data from the specified YouTube video. Each item typically includes details such as the comment text, author information, timestamps, and possibly metadata like likes or replies count. The node does not explicitly mention binary data output, so the focus is on structured JSON comment data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external Scrape Creators API service.
  • The node sends requests to https://api.scrapecreators.com with appropriate headers including the API key.
  • Users must configure the API key credential in n8n to enable access.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or malformed YouTube video URL may result in no comments being returned or errors.
    • Exceeding the allowed limit or API rate limits could lead to partial data or request rejections.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate problems with the API key; verify that the key is correctly set up.
    • Request errors related to the URL suggest checking the video link format.
    • Rate limit errors require waiting or upgrading the API plan.
