Youtube API very often gives the crap. Example, the video may have 5 comments, and the API gives 2000.

I tried to open the mobile version for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXpC12uGdg8 (here there are 77 comments for the current minute), as a result the mobile version shows that there are 1219 comments.

  • By the speed of work it will be faster to get the API than to take the whole page, to parse ... - Pavel8289
  • @ Pavel8289 I wrote that the API gives nonsense periodically - dakiesse

    On the YouTube page, only the 1st level comments and their 77 are shown. And there are comments for comments and so on :) - Visman
  • @Visman yes, there are nested (just noticed), but the nesting is only 2 level and this video doesn’t have many nesting comments and it doesn’t have more than 15 subcomments, that is, 1219 comments can not be - dakiesse
  • I advise you to create a YouTube video and comment yourself in order to catch the correct calculation ... and you’ll understand that youtube api cannot fail, it's GUGL)) - Pavel8289
