# Export YouTube comments to CSV

Most 'YouTube comments to CSV' tutorials start with an API key. This page is for people who want the file, not a quota dashboard.

## API vs CommentHunter

## FAQ

### Are YouTube comment hearts included?

When the provider returns isHearted / isPinned, CommentHunter maps those columns.
