An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## TikTok Comments Scraper ### What is TikTok Comments Scraper? **TikTok Comments Scraper** is a tool that lets you **scrape comments and replies from TikTok videos**: comment text, likes, reply count, publish date, author username and display name, pinned and creator-liked flags, and comment language.

You can view them as a table in Apify Console or download them as Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML or XML. A reply has `parentCommentId` set to the comment it answers; for top-level comments it is empty. ```json { "videoId": "7106594312292453675", "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675", "commentId": "7109796090086228742", "parentCommentId": "7106612523860869894", "authorUsername": "mrs.pink.500", "authorNickname": "Mrs Pink 500", "authorId": "6864946820616717318", "text": "I Just Said that I found only 13 😂", "likeCount": 0, "replyCount": 0, "publishedAt": "2022-06-16T11:21:29Z", "isPinned": false, "isAuthorLiked": false, "language": "en", "fetchedAt": "2026-09-24T11:08:25Z" } ``` 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](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) 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](https://apify.com/integrations). ### 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:///comments?video=https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015/video/6718335390845095173&limit=100 GET https:///profile?username=khaby.lame&videos=5&limit=100 Authorization: Bearer ``` You can also run the actor from your own code with the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or the Python and JavaScript clients: ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") 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?](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) TikTok Comments Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok. #### Something isn't working. What should I do? Open the **Issues** tab and tell us the video link and what you expected. We usually reply within a day. # Actor input Schema ## `videoUrls` (type: `array`): TikTok video URLs to scrape comments from.
