You can use CommentThreads:list which returns a list of all comments threads that match the API request parameters.

HTTP request 

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads

If the response is successfull, method returns a response body with the following structure:

{
"kind": "youtube#commentThreadListResponse",
"etag": etag,
"nextPageToken": string,
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": integer,
"resultsPerPage": integer
},
"items": [
commentThread Resource
]
}

Here's a YouTube API sample code with different supported programming languages: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/commentThreads/list#examples

Found this Stack Overflow related ticket, discuss how to get comments through YouTube API: How to get comments through Youtube Data API v3 / JSOUP parsing?
