This endpoint can be used for fetching a video’s comments and their replies.
id - string. (optional) Video ID.continuation - string. (optional) Continuation string to get the next page of comments.replyContinuation - string. (optional) Continuation string to get a comment’s replies.One and only one of the parameters listed above must be provided with each request.
When to use each:
id parameter.continuation parameter.replyContinuation parameter.commentCount - integer. The number of comments the video has. NOTE: This data is only included on page 1; requests for subsequent pages or for replies do not include this field.comments - array. The comments. id - string. Comment ID.channelId - string. ID of the channel that published the video.textDisplay - string. The comment message.publishedText - string. Human-readable string indicating when the comment was left.likeCount - string. Human-readable number of likes (“17”, “4K”, “2M”, etc.).authorIsChannelOwner - boolean. Whether the author of the comment is the channel owner.author - object. Data about the author of the comment. id - string. User ID.name - string. The user’s name.thumbnails - array. User avatar images. url - string. User avatar image URL.width - integer. User avatar image width in pixels.height - integer. User avatar image height in pixels.url - string The user’s YouTube URL.isPinned - boolean. Whether the comment is pinned.hasReplies - boolean. Whether the comment has replies. If the comment is a reply, this will always be false.replyCount - integer. Number of replies the comment has. If the comment is a reply, this will always be 0.replyContinuation - string|null. Continuation string to be included in subsequent requests to fetch a comment’s replies. This is null when no more reply comments remain. If the comment is a reply, this will always be null.continuation string|null. Continuation string to be included in subsequent requests to fetch more comments. This is null when no more comments remain.A top-level YouTube comment may have replies, but those replies can never have replies of their own. For that reason, if the comment is a reply, hasReplies will always be set to false, replyCount will always be set to 0, and replyContinuation will always be set to null.
If an invalid id, continuation or replyContinuation string is provided, a 400 Bad Request error response will be returned.
Below is a JavaScript example showing how to get the first two pages of top-level comments for the video with an ID of vpw_z9vBPAE, as well as the first two pages of replies to the first comment.
