YouTube API Streaming Stream

Question

Is there any YouTube API that allows external apps to search for a keyword / brand name in all comments on YouTube videos and send them to some kind of URL? In addition, the pull method is excellent if the proposed idea of ​​push does not exist.

So, I would like to know if my brand was mentioned in any video commentary on YouTube, similar to what Twitter allows with user / site streams.

Answer 1

The YouTube API (v2.0) defines comments as a property of a video object. Details here:

Therefore, to search for every YouTube comment, you need to go through the entire collection of videos. If you try to do something like this, it makes sense to confirm your concept by first focusing on the channels or categories that are most important to your brand.

Answer 2

No, there is nothing like this existing youtube api (neither V2 nor V3)
