How do I get the comments on a video that have been liked by the video creator? - youtube-data-api

Question

For example,
on a video called "B" created by a channel called "A",
is it possible to get a specific comment that "A" has liked?
Currently, I think I can only get the total number of likes for a particular comment on a video called "B" created by a channel called "A".

One more time YouTube Data API v3 doesn't provide a basic feature.
I recommend you to try out my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by fetching https://yt.lemnoslife.com/commentThreads?part=snippet,replies&videoId=VIDEO_ID&order=ORDER (ORDER can be either time or relevance, but note that this latter returns less comments), you will get the video comments with the isHearted you are looking for in item["snippet"]["topLevelComment"]["snippet"]["isHearted"].
The YouTube video mWdFMNQBcjs is a good video to test this feature of my API because it doesn't have too many comments while having both pagination mechanism for top level comments and answers, in addition to have its first comment hearted and pinned. With this video id you would get:

As YouTube Data API v3 CommentThreads: list and Comments: list there are two pagination mechanisms:
the top level pagination (using here
