How to pick a YouTube comment winner

Paste the video URL and press Fetch comments. Public top-level comments load through the YouTube Data API.
Filter by keyword, remove duplicates and exclude your channel.
Draw winners and alternates, then pin the proof link in the comments.

Official API only

Comments are read with the YouTube Data API v3 — no scraping. If the daily API quota is used up or comments are disabled, you'll see a clear message and can still paste comments manually.

Frequently asked questions

Are replies included?

Top-level comments are fetched. Most giveaways ask people to comment directly, so replies are not counted.

Is there a comment limit?

Large videos may take a while to load, and the API quota is shared by everyone, so very large fetches can stop early. You'll see how many comments were loaded.
