Features
What this YouTube comment search does and how it fits research, moderation, and audience-analysis workflows.
Real Comments, Structured
The search returns actual top-level comments from the video — each with its author, full text, like count, and reply count as labeled JSON fields. Read them here, copy them into a sheet, or pipe them into analysis without cleanup.
Search By Keyword Or Author
Load a video's comments, then search the returned texts for any keyword, phrase, or @mention — the way you would search a document. Find the one comment that matters in a busy thread instead of scrolling the section by hand.
Up To 50 Per Run
One request returns up to 50 top-level comments — set max_results from 1 to 50 before running. The response also reports the total, so you know how active the section is at a glance.
Engagement On Every Comment
Like and reply counts arrive with each item. Spot which comments the audience actually endorsed, measure sentiment around a moment in the video, or shortlist high-signal replies for follow-up.
Works On Any Public Video
Paste the standard youtube.com watch URL — standard videos and Shorts both work. Videos with comments disabled, private videos, and removed content will not resolve.
Agent-Ready Workflow
This page calls the same GET /v1/youtube/comments endpoint your agents use. Start with manual searches here, then move to the API variant or the one-prompt agent install without changing tools.
How to use
Follow these steps to search comments on a YouTube video: copy the URL, run the fetch, and search the returned comments.
Create A Free Account
Sign in or create a free AgentBody account. The account unlocks the comment fetch — no YouTube login and no channel ownership required.
Copy The Video URL
Open the public YouTube video whose comments you want to search and copy its URL from the address bar or the share menu. The video must be public with comments enabled.
Paste And Set The Limit
Paste the URL into the form on this page and optionally set max_results from 1 to 50. A higher limit pulls more of the section in one run; the default keeps responses snappy.
Run The Fetch
Click Run. The request goes to GET /v1/youtube/comments and returns the comment items with authors, texts, and engagement — usually within seconds.
Search The Comments
Search the returned texts for the keyword, phrase, or @mention you care about. Authors and like counts sit next to every match, so who said what — and how the audience reacted — is one glance away.
Scale It When Ready
When manual searches are not enough, switch to the YouTube Comment Search API or install the agent skill — the endpoint and output stay the same.
Frequently asked questions
How do I search YouTube comments with this tool?
Create or sign in to a free AgentBody account, paste the public video's URL into the form, set max_results up to 50, and click Run. The response returns the comments with authors, texts, and engagement; search the returned texts for any keyword, phrase, or @mention.
Can I search YouTube comments by keyword?
Yes — that is the core workflow. The tool loads a video's top-level comments as structured JSON, and you search the returned texts for any word or phrase. Every match carries its author and like count, so you can scan who said what without scrolling the section.
Can I search YouTube comments by user?
The fetch returns comments with their author names. To find one person's activity, search the returned items by author name — or by an @mention of them — and every matching comment surfaces with its text and engagement.
How many comments can I search at once?
One run returns up to 50 top-level comments — set max_results anywhere from 1 to 50. The response also reports the total for the video, so you know how much of the section you have loaded.
Does it work on videos I don't own?
Yes. The search reads the public comment section of any public video — no channel ownership, no YouTube Studio access, and no YouTube login required. It works on standard videos and Shorts alike.
How to search for comments on YouTube with this tool?
Create or sign in to a free AgentBody account, paste the video's URL, and click Run. The comments load as structured JSON — then search the returned texts for any keyword, phrase, or @mention the way you search a document.
Is there a YouTube comments searcher built in?
The fetch returns the comments with authors and engagement as labeled fields; you search the returned texts directly. As a YouTube comment searcher, the workflow is: load a video's section, then match any keyword or author name against the results.
How to search YouTube comments by user?
Load the video's comments, then filter the returned items by author name — or by an @mention of the user. Every matching comment surfaces with its full text, like count, and reply count, so one person's activity in the thread is one search away.
What about videos with comments turned off?
Those return no comments — the section does not exist to read. Private videos and removed content will not resolve either. Choose a public video with its comment section enabled.
