Sources

Research videos, Shorts, live replays, community posts, playlists, channels, or custom URL sets.

Working formats

Move the record into Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML, or TXT without changing the original conversation.

Plan choice

Use prepaid capacity for occasional studies or a subscription for recurring audience research.

  1. Choose the right working format

    Move a conversation into Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML, or TXT depending on whether you need review, processing, a readable record, or external AI analysis.

  2. Study more than one source

    Build a wider research set from a playlist, channel, or curated URL list when one video cannot represent the audience you need to understand.

  3. Keep findings traceable

    Use the readable conversation view to return from a theme or quote to its surrounding replies, timestamps, and source context.

  4. Start from a public link

    Collect a structured working record without maintaining a scraper or configuring an API client before your research can begin.

  5. Match the plan to the study

    Use prepaid credits for occasional investigations or a subscription when audience research is part of your ongoing workflow.

  6. Narrow the evidence first

    Search authors, terms, timestamps, engagement, and reply activity so the export reflects the question you are actually asking.

Four lenses for public conversation data

Use one source-backed dataset to examine context, compare audiences, prepare working evidence, and explain findings.

Research lens

Conversation context

Keep replies, timestamps, source links, and available engagement fields connected to the discussion you are reviewing.

Research lens

Comparative view

Move from one video to playlists, channels, or curated source lists when a single conversation is not enough.

Research lens

Working evidence

Choose a structured format for spreadsheets, records, reporting, or further processing in the tools your team already uses.

Research lens

Explainable findings

Return to the original source context when you need to substantiate a theme, quote, or audience signal.
