youtube data api: get comments that have recently been added or modified
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm currently fetching youtube comments for a channel via the following API request:
const service = google.youtube('v3');
service.commentThreads.list({
auth: auth,
allThreadsRelatedToChannelId: channelId,
part: 'snippet,replies',
textFormat: 'plainText',
maxResults: 50,
pageToken: pageToken,
}, (err: any, response: any) => {
....
});
This is all well and good when I am doing my initial fetch. It doesn't work so well when I do subsequent fetches. In this case, I want to find all comments that have recently been changed.
AFAICT I am getting a list of comments back in the order in which they are published. This makes it easy to find new comment threads.
What is more difficult is finding comment threads that have new comments added, and comments for which the comment text has been changed. Is there any way to do the above without just fetching all the comment threads and comparing them against existing data? That seems to be rather abusive of the API.
(The channels I am interested in have 10k comments or more, so a total fetch is non-trivial.)
