Frequently Asked Questions

Are these YouTube scrapers free?
Yes. All three are free to run with the Lection Chrome extension. Free runs return up to 20 comments, 20 search results, or 30 channel videos; paid plans add bigger and scheduled runs.
Do I need a YouTube Data API key?
No. The tools read public YouTube pages through the Lection extension, so there is no API key, quota, or Google Cloud project to set up.
Why do the tools need the Lection extension?
The extension loads the YouTube page from your browser, then Lection turns it into rows. That keeps runs reliable without asking you for any login or key.
Can I scrape comment replies or private videos?
No. The comments scraper exports top-level comments on public videos and reports each one’s reply count. Private and members-only videos are not supported.
Can I send YouTube data to Google Sheets?
Yes. Download CSV or Excel for a one-off, or follow the guides above to keep comments or channel videos updating in Google Sheets.
