[Air-L] Displaying All YouTube Comments?

[Tim Graham]

Dear Paula, Silvana, and everyone,


Robert Ackland and I wrote an open source R package called 'SocialMediaLab, which (among other things) enables users to collect *all* comments from YouTube videos (or very close to all comments). It deals with the pagination issue on YouTube, etc.


You can download the latest stable release for free at: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SocialMediaLab/SocialMediaLab.pdf


If you are new to programming, we have written a bunch of tutorials and help guides, available at: http://vosonlab.net/SocialMediaLab#R-helper


I hope this might be of benefit for your research. If you have any questions please feel free to drop a line :^)


Cheers,


Tim


P.S. We will be doing a major update to SocialMediaLab next month, with lots of new functionality and features!

But NCapture never gets all comments. I used NCapture and Nvivo on my
research and you never know the criteria of the comment collect. For
example: in a video with over 4k comments, NCapture collected 1.064; in
another video with 2,5k comments, the tool got 1k. In the help page says
that NCapture collects all comments available on YouTube, but I tried
Netlytic in the same 4k comments video and it collects 2,5k. I end it up
using NCapture 'cause I worked with the comments of a whole playlist and
NVivo makes your life easier to analyze that much data (and with a set for
analytic tools to cross data of the video and comments that are golden).
But you need to know that will never collect all the comments.
