Questions

Does it read every comment?

No. It reads up to three pages, which is a sample of a large thread. The API pages through up to about 1,000 top or 7,000 newest comments.

Is there a sentiment score?

No. A score without a method behind it is a guess, so this tool counts what can be counted: words, questions, likes, creator replies.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.

How do I get this data in my own app?

Send GET /v1/youtube/video/comments with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
