Not retrieving replies of the comments

Closed

I'm working on scraping comments from TikTok, including replies to those comments. I've tried using the tiktok_comments scraper, but it only loads the top-level comments and doesn't retrieve the replies. Does anyone have suggestions that can handle both comments and replies?

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

Can you please share a run where this has happened? I've run the scraper for your last query and got all comments: https://console.apify.com/actors/BDec00yAmCm1QbMEI/runs/D1Te2vH692vV9H8X5#log

Have you set the commentsPerPost and maxRepliesPerComment input options correctly?

I hope this helps, feel free to reopen this issue if it still won't work for you :) Thanks and happy scraping!

Thank you. I wanted to know if I can scrape tiktok comments if I get the creator plan.

No, the creator plan is supposed to be only used for your own and a few others "build your own" type of Actors. From the documentation: You can use your own Actors and Apify’s 7 universal Actors: Web Scraper, Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio, VanillaJS, BeautifulSoup, and JSDOM Scrapers.

The starter platform plan should cover your needs the best :) Happy scraping!

can I use the creator plan, if I cannot use the actor, can I use the apify api to extract the info from tiktok?

I'm not sure if I follow you? Still, AFAIK you won't be able to start this Actor on a creator plan subscription plan account, no matter if you start it from the web UI or the client API.

Got it! I have two questions:

Cost Estimate: Could you provide an estimate for scraping 500 TikTok videos and retrieving the top 100 comments for each? Is there a way to get a more precise cost estimate for this?

Web-based Report and API Access: I'm looking to create a web-based report for TikTok scraping to gather insights. Could you guide me on where to find the API documentation for retrieving and posting TikTok scraping data?

This scraper is Pay Per Result meaning you pay a fixed price per each result. This scraper has a price of $1.00 / 1,000 comments.

To get the videos, you can use our TikTok Data Extractor at a price of $4.00 / 1,000 results.

For the API you can either use our raw HTTP API or our JS API client, which I would recommend you more.

I hope this helps. Thanks and happy scraping!

Thank you for your comment. Here’s my current estimate for scraping 500 TikTok videos with a starter plan:

Plan and Costs:

Starter Plan: $49/month Compute Units (CU): $0.40 per CU Proxy Usage: 30 IPs included Video Scraping: $5 for 500 videos (using TikTok Video Scraper) Comment Scraping: $50 for 50,000 comments (based on 100 comments per video for 500 videos) Total Estimate: $93 for 500 videos

Could you confirm if this is accurate?

The $49 starter plan already comes with $49 Apify usage, so you can just straight up pay for the results with it :)

So you will just pay 55 dollars exactly for the 500 videos and 50,000 comments :)
