How to Scrape YouTube Comments and Turn Them into Content Ideas

Ever wish you could peek into your audience’s mind and know exactly what content they want? Well, you can – by tapping into the goldmine of information in YouTube comments. This guide will show you how to automatically scrape comments and turn them into brilliant content ideas.

What You’ll Need

To get started, you’ll need:

• A no-code automation platform (Make.com is a great option)
• An RSS feed tool (like RSS.app)
• A web scraping tool (like Apify)
• Access to GPT-4 or another advanced language model
• Airtable for organizing your data

The Process

Here’s a high-level overview of how this automation works:

1. Use RSS feeds to monitor new videos from chosen channels
2. Scrape comments when a new video is posted
3. Analyze comments using AI to generate:
   • A video description
   • Sentiment analysis
   • Content ideas based on viewer feedback
4. Store all this information in Airtable

Let’s break it down step-by-step.

Step 1: Set Up Your RSS Feed

1. Sign up for RSS.app
2. Create a new feed for each YouTube channel you want to monitor
3. Combine these feeds into a single bundle

This will allow you to automatically detect when new videos are posted.

Step 2: Configure Your Comment Scraper

1. Set up an Apify actor to scrape YouTube comments
2. Configure it to grab a set number of comments (e.g., 1000) from each new video

Step 3: Process the Comments

Use Make.com to create a workflow that:

1. Detects new videos via the RSS feed
2. Triggers the Apify actor to scrape comments
3. Aggregates all comments into a single text block

Step 4: Analyze Comments with AI

Create three separate AI prompts:

1. Generate a video description
2. Analyze sentiment and key themes
3. Generate content ideas based on viewer feedback

Feed the aggregated comments into each of these prompts.

Step 5: Store Results in Airtable

Create an Airtable base with the following fields:

• Video URL
• Title
• Description
• Sentiment Analysis
• Content Ideas

Configure your Make.com workflow to add a new record to this table for each processed video.

The Power of Automation

This setup allows you to:

• Stay on top of viewer feedback across multiple channels
• Quickly understand the sentiment around your content
• Generate fresh content ideas directly inspired by your audience
• Save hours of manual work

By leveraging the power of automation, you can create a constant stream of audience-driven content ideas.
