  1. A method to grab the comments from YouTube videos

  2. 

  3. * Requires qwarc and realpath from GNU coreutils 8.23+.

  4. * Execute as `comments VIDEOID` where `VIDEOID` is the 11-character video ID from YouTube.

  5. * You can pass multiple video IDs at once as well: `comments VIDEOID1 VIDEOID2 ...`. They get executed sequentially.

  6. * Comments are grabbed only in the 'newest first' order, including replies and nesting.

  7. * Everything's written to a few files in the current directory called `youtube-comments-VIDEOID-DATE*`.

  8.  * After the retrieval finished cleanly and you're satisfied with the results, you can delete the `.db` and `.log` files. The former is essentially useless, and the latter is contained in the `-meta.warc.gz` file.
