Does is possible to show all comments on youtube

Post Reply New Topic

I know how to do it, but i still required to click "show more" but i wonder does is possible to show all comments at one?

I wish, but it's not.

I know English isn't your first language, so here is a bit of help. Don't say "Does is possible" say "Is it possible".

Why on earth would you want (say) all 10,000 comments downloaded at once?
Doesn't it make more sense to display 20 or so on each page and if you want to dig back further, a single click gets 20 more?

If it takes a couple of seconds to fetch 20 comments and there are 5,000 comments in total, that means a delay of over eight minutes before anything is displayed if you download them all at once.

If you want to display more per page, click on the header "ALL COMMENTS (n,nnn)" displayed just under the "Show more" header which expands the clip's description area. (the "(n,nnn)" part is replaced by the actual number of comments)
That gets a display of around 100 comments, not counting sub-comments on those comments, before the "Show more" button appears at the end.

You can use an AppleScript with the Safari browser. See this Apple Support Communities thread:

The AppleScript by Jacques Rioux:

tell application "Safari" -- the current page must be loaded
repeat
if (do JavaScript "document.getElementById('yt-comments-paginator').offsetParent === null" in document 1) is in {true, missing value} then exit repeat -- this element is hidden or not exists, so no more comments.
do JavaScript "document.getElementById('yt-comments-paginator').getElementsByClassName('show-more')[0].click();" in document 1 -- click on the "Show more" button.
my myDelay()
end repeat
do JavaScript "var myArray = document.getElementsByClassName('load-comments can-reply'); for (var x in myArray) { myArray[x].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].click();}" in document 1 -- click on every "view all .. replies" link
do JavaScript "var myArray = document.getElementsByClassName('comment-text-toggle hid'); for (var x in myArray) { myArray[x].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].click();}" in document 1 -- click on every "Read more" link
end tell

on myDelay()
do shell script "sleep 1"
end myDelay
