TikTok Comments Scraper

Scrape all comments from any TikTok video — text, like counts, reply counts, author details, exact timestamps, threaded replies, and sentiment analysis on every comment — as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

No login, no cookies, no browser. Paste video URLs and get structured comments back.

Pay per result — you're charged per comment delivered. Removed or private videos are reported and not charged.

Pairs with our TikTok Video Scraper: that one gives you a video's stats, this one gives you what people said about it.

What can I use it for?

• Audience research — read what your (or a competitor's) audience actually says, at scale, with sentiment already scored.
• Brand & campaign monitoring — track the reaction to a sponsored post: is the sentiment shifting, and which comments are driving it?
• Product feedback mining — the complaints and requests under a viral product video are free market research.
• Influencer vetting — real engagement looks different from bot engagement; comment text and author data show which is which.
• Training data / AI — clean, structured, sentiment-labelled short-form text.

Input

Field	Required	Description
Video URLs or IDs	✔	Full links, vm.tiktok.com short links, or bare numeric IDs.
Max comments per video	–	1–5,000 (default 100). Each comment is one billable result.
Include replies	–	Also fetch replies to each comment, linked by parentCommentId. Replies count toward the max.
Proxy configuration	–	Automatic by default: datacenter proxy first, escalating to RESIDENTIAL only if TikTok blocks it.

Output

One record per comment (and per reply):

{
  "commentId": "7650123456789",
  "videoId": "7650013911164488991",
  "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nba/video/7650013911164488991",
  "text": "Frame this forever if Knicks win chip",
  "likeCount": 107254,
  "replyCount": 95,
  "createdAt": "2026-06-11T09:26:26+00:00",
  "authorHandle": "ajvitolo",
  "authorName": "AJ",
  "authorAvatar": "https://p16.tiktokcdn.com/…",
  "isPinned": false,
  "isAuthorLiked": true,
  "isReply": false,
  "parentCommentId": null,
  "sentiment": "positive"
}

Sentiment (positive / neutral / negative) is scored on every comment with VADER, tuned for social-media text — no extra call, no extra charge.

Honest by design

If a video has more comments than you asked for, we tell you — the run's status message and SUMMARY report commentsAvailable vs commentsScraped per video. A partial scrape is never presented as a complete one.

Other reliability guarantees:

• Fail-loud contract — a changed TikTok API raises a loud error instead of silently delivering an empty dataset.
• Dead videos handled per-item — a removed or private video is reported (and not charged) while the rest of the batch continues.
• Tiered proxy — datacenter first, automatic escalation to residential only when blocked.
• Resumable — if a run is aborted or capped, resurrect it: delivered comments are never re-scraped or re-charged.

Usage from code

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("electrabot.info/tiktok-comments-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@nba/video/7650013911164488991"],
        "maxComments": 500,
        "includeReplies": True,
    }
)
rows = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
neg = [r for r in rows if r["sentiment"] == "negative"]
print(f"{len(neg)}/{len(rows)} negative")

FAQ

Why did I get fewer comments than the video shows? TikTok filters some comments server-side (spam, deleted, restricted), so the public count is usually higher than what its API will serve. We always report what was available vs what we delivered — nothing is hidden.

Do replies count as results? Yes — each reply is a comment record and is billed as one result. Turn Include replies off if you only want top-level comments.
