YouTube Video Comment Replies
Read replies through the official YouTube comments API. Start with a top-level id returned by /v1/youtube/video/comments, using continuationToken. The returned data.next_cursor can be passed unchanged as either continuationToken or cursor for the next page. Tokens from other providers are not interchangeable. The current adapter returns up to ten replies per page. data.returned_count is the current page size; total is the provider’s reported total when present, otherwise null. has_more follows the returned cursor. Parent IDs are checked on every reply. format accepts html (default) or plainText; callers rendering HTML should sanitize it. Fresh successful pages cost 1 SocialQuery credit. Cache hits and successful idempotent replays cost zero; failed calls are refunded. Use X-Max-Credits: 1. Judgments are not yet implemented: the default response reports skipped labels and null values. judgments=off or label=none omits judgment fields. Explicit labeling, date filters, fitting and dry-run requests return 422. Reply counts and account verification remain null when the provider does not supply them. This verifies public reply access and pagination, not full SocialCrawl enrichment parity.
