Yes, as long as the provided max_items value is within system limits. The tool processes videos sequentially for optimal reliability.
Q3: Does this scraper bypass comment visibility limits? YouTube typically displays ~1,000 top comments. The extractor retrieves all visible comments but cannot access hidden or undisplayed ones.
Q4: What formats can I export my data into? You can download structured results as JSON, CSV, XML, RSS, or HTML table formats for use in any workflow.
