Compare Posts And Profiles Across YouTube Comments Scraper at Scale

Comparisons need the same fields across every row — that's what structured extraction buys you. Thirdwatch's YouTube Comments Scraper turns YouTube Comments Scraper into structured posts and profiles — the fields you need, ready to export.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why compare posts and profiles

'Which is better/cheaper/higher-rated' is a table question. Manual browsing gives anecdotes; a structured pull gives you the sortable, filterable census.

Run the Actor over your full target list and the comparison is a group-by away.

The scraper handles the extraction details so a short input list in means usable posts and profiles out.

How does this compare to the alternatives?

Why this Actor

• Purpose-built for this source — videoUrls in, structured rows out.
• Pay per result — no subscriptions, free tier to test.
• Dataset output exports as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API.
• Schedulable — save the task and run it daily or weekly.
• Part of the Thirdwatch portfolio — 140+ public Actors maintained as a fleet.

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — videoUrls takes the targets, the optional fields bound run size — start small and scale.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per posts and profile.

Step 3: Use the output

Each row carries the fields this source exposes (title, url, description).

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://example.com"
  ]
}

Each dataset row looks like:

{
  "title": "\u2026",
  "url": "\u2026",
  "description": "\u2026"
}

What to watch for

Results reflect what's publicly visible at run time. Very large pulls take proportionally longer; bound them with the max/limit fields. For audience research and monitoring, scheduled small runs beat occasional giant ones.
