Tips for optimal results

• Start with limits: Begin with conservative comment limits to gauge data volume and costs
• Use reply parsing strategically: Enable reply parsing only when thread analysis is essential
• Batch processing: Process multiple videos in a single run for better efficiency
• Monitor usage: Track compute unit consumption to optimize costs
• Data validation: Implement validation logic to filter out spam or irrelevant comments

Is it legal to scrape TikTok?

Our TikTok Comments Scraper is ethical and does not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. It only extracts what users have chosen to share publicly in their comments. We therefore believe that our scraper, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, is safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.

Pricing

The TikTok Comments Scraper operates on Apify's consumption-based pricing model using Compute Units (CUs). The cost depends on:

• Number of comments extracted
• Reply parsing depth
• Video complexity and availability
• Proxy usage (if required)

On average, scraping 1,000 comments costs approximately 1-2 CUs. You can start with the free tier to test the scraper and estimate costs for your specific use case. The scraper is optimized for efficiency to minimize compute unit usage while maximizing data extraction quality.
