YouTube comment scraper: export all comments from any video
YouTube Studio only lets you see comments, not download them. LeadBuzzPro is a YouTube comment scraper and downloader for Chrome: open any video, press Start, and export every comment and reply to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets.
How to export all YouTube comments
- Install LeadBuzzPro for Chrome, Edge or Brave.
- Open the video on youtube.com (yours or anyone else's public video).
- Click LeadBuzzPro, choose Commenters on this post, and press Start. It scrolls down to load comments and opens "replies" threads as it goes.
- Open Results and download the comments as Excel, CSV or JSON, or copy them into Google Sheets.
Download your first YouTube comment section
Free plan. No API key, no code.
What the download includes
Each row has the commenter's channel name, handle, channel link, the comment text, whether it's a reply, the video link and the time of export. Run the same video again later and LeadBuzzPro marks the comments that are new since the last run.
Why scrape YouTube comments?
- Find leads: commenters asking "how did you do this?" or "what tool is this?" on videos in your niche are looking for help you might sell.
- Pick giveaway winners: download every entry and choose fairly.
- Audience research: the most-asked questions in a comment section make great video ideas. LeadBuzzPro groups them for you.
- Competitor research: see who comments on several competitors' channels.
Extension vs. API vs. Python script
The YouTube Data API and Python scrapers work well if you code, and need an API key and quota. Online comment exporters are quick but often charge per video. A browser extension sits in between: no code and no key, it reads exactly what you see, and it works on any video you can open.
What YouTube doesn't show
YouTube keeps subscriber lists private, so no honest tool can export another channel's subscribers. Comments, and the channels behind them, are the public signal you can use.
