Re: [Air-L] Displaying All YouTube Comments?
Hi Claudia, I'm not sure it's possible to collect all comments. The YouTube API delivers 100 comments maximum ( https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/comments/list). To download the comments can be done with R tuber ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tuber/tuber.pdf). If you need more you could try scraping the comments, but I am not sure this will work on YouTube. Hope his helps Maurice On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 6:46 PM, Claudia Nazario <cnazario@email.arizona.edu

Hello all,
Is anyone aware of how to display all pages/comments a video has received on YouTube at the same time (instead of clicking on "Show More" to load additional comments)?
I want to use a web tool to analyze the comments, but need all comments visible simultaneously.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and/or alternatives.

Good afternoon, Thanks to the pointer from Maurice, I did a quick test, and the documentation of their API is a little confusing, but the API can deliver more than 100 results (I assume it can deliver all comments), but it just paginates them based on the maxResults parameter. the response will include nextPageToken which can be used to retrieve the next "page" of results. (I tested for only 2 "pages" and was able to grab 200 comments with distinct ids for a video) Also, I *think* that (in YT parlance) "commentThreads" is the more useful api: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/commentThreads/list Michael On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 1:49 PM Maurice Vergeer <m.vergeer@maw.ru.nl> wrote:
