Each run also saves a short report that lists how many videos and comments it covered, and any video it could not scrape with the reason (for example, a deleted or private video).

How can I use TikTok comments data?

• Audience research: see what viewers love, ask for or complain about on your videos or a competitor's
• Brand monitoring: track what people say about your brand on creators' videos
• Influencer vetting: check comment quality and real engagement before you work with a creator
• Sentiment analysis and AI: build comment datasets for sentiment, topic or trend analysis
• Community management: find the most-liked comments and the ones the creator pinned or liked

How to monitor new TikTok comments

1. Turn on Only new comments.
2. Set Max comments per video high enough to cover the whole thread.
3. Schedule the actor to run every day or every hour.

The first run gives you every comment. Each later run gives you only the comments posted since, ready to send to Slack, email or a spreadsheet with an integration.

Real-time TikTok comments API

Need comments right away inside your app? Call the actor's API and get the comments back in the response, without starting a run:

GET https://<your-actor-standby-url>/comments?video=https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015/video/6718335390845095173&limit=100
GET https://<your-actor-standby-url>/profile?username=khaby.lame&videos=5&limit=100
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

You can also run the actor from your own code with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("automly/tiktok-comments-scraper").call(run_input={
    "videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015/video/6718335390845095173"],
    "maxCommentsPerVideo": 1000,
})
for comment in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(comment["authorUsername"], comment["text"])

❓FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok comments?

You pay only for the comments you get, per 1,000 comments. See the Pricing tab for the current price. Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month, so you can try it at no cost.

How many comments can I scrape from one TikTok video?

As many as the video shows. Videos with tens of thousands of comments work fine. Set Max comments per video to the number you need.

Why do I get fewer comments than the number shown on the video?

The number TikTok shows on a video includes replies. Turn on Include replies to get those too.

Can I scrape replies to TikTok comments?

Yes. Turn on Include replies. Each reply is its own row, linked to its comment by parentCommentId.

Do I need a TikTok account?

No. You don't need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key.

Can I scrape comments from private videos?

No. Only public videos can be scraped. Private, deleted or mistyped videos are skipped and listed in the run report.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok comments?

This scraper only collects comments that people chose to post publicly. It does not collect private data such as email addresses or phone numbers. Comments can still contain personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape it for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

TikTok Comments Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok.
