Comments of a YouTube video

crawl4ai.youtube.video.comments

The top-level comments of one public YouTube video, in YouTube's top-comments order, one row per comment: text, author, likes, reply count, when it was posted, whether the creator hearted or pinned it. `video` is the watch URL, a youtu.be link or the 11-character id; `limit` how many comments (default 50, at most 500). YouTube sends 20 comments a page, about 0.5 s each. A video with comments turned off gives no rows. When YouTube stops answering partway, the comments read so far come back with a warning that the list stopped early. Columns: comment_id, video_id, text, author, likes, replies, published, published_date, hearted_by_creator, pinned, url.
