Do it in code
The same result, from the API, for as many posts as you need. It returns a unified Comment, the same shape on every platform.
curl -G https://api.crawlfeed.dev/v1/youtube/comments \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CRAWLFEED_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "post_id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"Questions
Does it include replies?
Top-level comments are the entries by default. Untick “Ignore replies” to include the replies the platform returns with them.
Is the draw random and fair?
Yes. Winners are drawn in your browser with the Web Crypto random number generator, using an unbiased method, from the entries that pass your rules. Every eligible entry has the same chance.
How many comments does it read?
A free lookup reads the first few pages of comments, which covers most giveaways. If a post has more, the tool says so; the crawlfeed API pages through every comment.
Can I prove the result to my followers?
Record your screen while you load the comments and draw, and post the clip with the winner announcement. Each winner links to their comment so anyone can check it.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can run a few lookups a day without an account. For more, or to automate it, create a free account: it comes with 100 API credits.
Do I need to log in or connect my account?
No. The tool reads public data only and never asks for a password or account access.
