Create an Apify account and copy an API token.\n2. In n8n, create a **Query Auth** credential:\n   - Name: `Apify API Token`\n   - Query parameter name: `token`\n   - Value: your Apify token\n3. Open **Run Apify Actor** and select that credential.\n4. Click **Execute workflow**. The rows appear in **Rows ready**.\n5. Optional: enable **Google Sheets** and set your document and sheet.\n\n### Notes\n- This calls the public Actor endpoint. No API token is stored in this file.\n- `run-sync-get-dataset-items` waits up to 300 seconds. For large runs, switch to the async run + dataset endpoint.\n- Public data only. Respect the target site's terms and local law.\n\n### Input fields\n- `videoUrls` (array)\n- `channelUrls` (array)\n- `playlistUrls` (array)\n- `searchQueries` (array)\n- `maxVideosPerSource` (integer)\n- `maxComments` (integer)\n- `includeReplies` (boolean)\n- `maxRepliesPerComment` (integer)\n- `maxReplyDepth` (integer)\n- `maxTotalRows` (integer)\n- `sortBy` (string)\n- `commentsSince` (string)\n\n### Output fields\n- `commentId` (Comment ID)\n- `authorName` (Author)\n- `text` (Text)\n- `likeCount` (Likes)\n- `replyCount` (Replies)\n- `isHearted` (Hearted)\n- `videoTitle` (Video)",
