Overview

Extract detailed information from YouTube videos, including full transcripts, viewer comments, video titles, view counts, and likes. This tool is ideal for content analysis, market research, and competitive intelligence.

Whether you're analyzing content trends, researching competitor strategies, or diving deep into audience sentiment, this tool provides a structured way to gather essential YouTube video data. It operates in two key modes: ### Discover Videos by Search In 'Discover' mode, you can input search terms just like you would on YouTube itself. The tool then returns a list of videos matching your query, and for each discovered video, it will extract its title, the channel it belongs to, its view count, and the number of likes it has received. This is especially useful for broad market research, identifying trending topics, or finding popular content within a specific niche. ### Scrape Specific Video URLs When you already know which videos you want to investigate, the 'Scrape' mode allows you to provide direct YouTube video URLs. For each URL, the tool collects the video's title, channel, view count, and likes. Beyond the basic metadata, it goes deeper by extracting all available viewer comments and, crucially, the full video transcript. You can specify your preferred language for the transcript, ensuring you get the text most relevant to your analysis. You'll receive both the raw captions and a merged transcript for easier processing. This combination of discovery and direct scraping allows for flexible data collection, from high-level trend spotting to granular content and audience analysis. The output provides a clear, organized dataset, ready for further processing, sentiment analysis, keyword research, or competitive benchmarking.
