YouTube Shorts Comments Scraper

Yes. Open the Short, press Scrape in the InsightSocial side panel, and the extension opens the comment panel, collects the comments and their replies, and exports them to Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets. Scraping is free; exports use your monthly rows (500 free).

Same extension, same columns. Shorts keep their comments in a slide-in panel instead of under the video, so on a Shorts page the extension opens that panel and pauses the Short first. Regular videos use the YouTube Comments Scraper.

Yes. Swipe to the Short you want, then open the side panel. The Short stays paused until the run ends, so it can't move on to the next one.

A run collects 100, 250 or 500 comments, whichever you pick, and replies count toward that number. In our October 2026 test, a 300-comment run on a Short with about 28,000 comments returned 300 rows with the tab in the background.

Yes. Reply threads are opened as the panel scrolls, and each reply row carries the ID of the comment it answers, so you can rebuild conversations.

Yes, with the YouTube Channel Scraper: open the channel, pick Channel Shorts, and you get the Shorts with their title, link, views and thumbnail.

No. Comment rows carry the Short's title, link and channel. For view counts, export the channel's Shorts list with the YouTube Channel Scraper.

No. The extension reads the Short in your own browser. No Google Cloud project, no key, no quota.

Yes. Comment text and emoji come through as written, in any language.
