GET
/v1/youtube/video/comment/replies

Returns the replies under one comment, each with the reply text, author details, like count, and publish date.

Use it after video/comments: pass a comment's id as continuationToken, and keep paging until no replies remain to get the whole thread.

10 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

In: header

Query Parameters

continuationToken*string

Where to start. The id of a top-level comment: a top-level comment id (e.g. the comment.id of any row from /v1/youtube/video/comments). For the next page of replies, send pagination.next_cursor as cursor with the same continuationToken.

format?string

Text format for reply bodies: 'html' (default) or 'plainText'.

Value in

  • "html"
  • "plainText"
dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
cursor?string

Universal pagination cursor. Send pagination.next_cursor from the previous response back verbatim: the API maps it to this endpoint's native continuationToken (cursor style). You never construct, decode, or look up a cursor. Omit it for page 1.
