YouTube data tools: comments, videos and sponsors

YouTube data splits into two questions: what a channel publishes and how viewers respond, and who is paying for it. There is a tool for each.

covers channels and conversation. Its modes list a channel's videos, shorts, playlists and community posts, look up a single video, community post or playlist, and collect the top comments of a video and the replies under them. Rows carry titles, dates, view and like counts, and the comment text with its likes. It is the tool for audience research, content audits and playlist exports.

YouTube Ads Scraper covers sponsorships. It reads a video's description, links and paid-promotion label and names the likely sponsor, with the quotes it relied on and a confidence level. It helps brands and agencies see which channels work with which companies.

A simple chain: list a channel's videos with the first tool, then pass the links to the second to see its sponsors. Both read public data only and need no YouTube account.
