Pass the comment's `repliesToken` from `/v1/youtube/video/comments`. Each reply has the same fields as a comment: id, the id of the comment it answers, text and links, author (channel id, handle, avatar, verified, whether it is the video's creator), when it was posted and whether it was edited, likes (rounded), whether the creator hearted it, and any attached image. Pass the returned `cursor` back (with the same `repliesToken`) for the next page. Only publicly available data is returned. > [!NOTE] > > **Cost: 1 credit** per successful request. Errors and cache hits (`cache_max_age`) are free. > [accordion] Copy for AI assistant > > Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or your coding assistant to generate working code for this endpoint (use the copy button). > > ```text Prompt > I want to make an API call to /v1/youtube/video/comment/replies.

Endpoints are split by platform and by what they return, e.g. `GET /v1/twitter/tweet`. ## Authentication Send your API key in the `x-api-key` header (or `Authorization: Bearer `). Create keys in your dashboard. ## Credits Each successful live scrape costs **1 credit**. Credits are prepaid and never expire. ## Caching Every endpoint accepts an optional `cache_max_age` (`1d`|`3d`|`7d`|`14d`|`30d`). A cache hit within that window is returned for **0 credits**. ## Responses Success returns `{ "data": …, "meta": { "requestId", … } }`. Errors return `{ "error": { "code", "message", "requestId" } }` with a matching HTTP status. `meta` on a scrape carries `creditsCharged`, `creditsRemaining`, `cached`, and (on a hit) `cachedAt`. ## Rate limits Requests are limited per team per minute; over the limit returns `429` with a `Retry-After` header. servers: - url: https://api.scraperize.com description: Production security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Twitter description: Twitter / X scraping endpoints - name: Facebook description: Facebook scraping endpoints - name: Linkme description: Linkme (link.me) scraping endpoints - name: Amazon description: Amazon (creator shop / storefront) scraping endpoints - name: Linkbio description: Linkbio (lnk.bio) scraping endpoints - name: Pillar description: Pillar (pillar.io) scraping endpoints - name: Komi description: Komi (komi.io) scraping endpoints - name: Linktree description: Linktree (linktr.ee) scraping endpoints - name: Kick description: Kick (kick.com) scraping endpoints - name: Snapchat description: Snapchat (snapchat.com) scraping endpoints - name: Telegram description: Telegram (t.me) scraping endpoints - name: LinkedIn description: LinkedIn scraping endpoints - name: Twitch description: Twitch scraping endpoints - name: TikTok description: TikTok (tiktok.com) scraping endpoints - name: Instagram description: Instagram scraping endpoints - name: Lagos Life description: Lagos Life scraping endpoints - name: Bluesky description: Bluesky (bsky.app) scraping endpoints - name: Threads description: Threads (threads.com) scraping endpoints - name: Reddit description: Reddit (reddit.com) scraping endpoints - name: Rumble description: Rumble (rumble.com) scraping endpoints - name: Truth Social description: Truth Social (truthsocial.com) scraping endpoints - name: YouTube description: YouTube (youtube.com) scraping endpoints paths: /v1/youtube/video/comment/replies: get: tags: - YouTube summary: Comment replies description: >- Fetches the replies to one comment on a YouTube video or Short, in the order YouTube lists them — 10 on the first page, then about 50 per page.
