What the reviews say

Good at exporting hierarchical YouTube comment data and offering a free tier, but its terminology (the meaning of 'cid') is unclear.

8 of 8 reviews carry text

Theme	Sentiment	Said	What they mean
Setup and docs	1 praised · 1 complained	2	supports cid and replyToCid identifiersunclear meaning of 'cid' identifier“Fantastic tool- and for those wondering, it does preserve the hierarchical relationship between "parent" comments and their nested replies. (sidenote: you can just 'reconstruct' comment/reply threads using `cid` and `replyToCid`. Saw that question in a different review.)” — 5/5

Its rare nowadays that a free trial is actually a free trial but this is. A brilliant scraper that saved e loads of time.” — 5/5
