## Pricing

from $0.60 / 1,000 comments

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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`).

## Douyin Comments Scraper – Cheap & No Login

Scrape comments from Douyin (抖音) videos and image posts: text, likes, reply counts, commenter province, author profile. No login or cookies. Pay only per comment.

**Why this scraper**

- 💸 **From $0.60 / 1,000 comments** — priced per result, not per page.
- 🎯 **Pay only for what you get**: unavailable videos cost a small flat fee; set a maximum cost per run and the scraper stops right there.
- 🧾 **Clean, consistent fields** across runs, ready for spreadsheets and pipelines.
- ⚡ **No browser, no login**: lightweight requests, starts in seconds, runs on 256 MB.

### What data you get

| Field | Example / meaning |
|---|---|
| `id`, `videoId`, `text` | comment id, video id, comment text |
| `diggCount`, `replyCount` | likes and number of replies |
| `ipLocation` | province or country shown in the app, e.g. `云南` |
| `createTimeISO`, `isPinned`, `likedByAuthor` | time, pinned by the author, liked by the author |
| `imageUrls` | images attached to the comment |
| `author` | nickname, Douyin ID, sec_uid, avatar |

### How to use

1. Add Douyin video links or ids.
2. Set **Max comments per video** (default 100, minimum 20).
3. Run and export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via API.

```json
{
    "videos": [
        "https://www.douyin.com/video/7618193245298098086"
    ],
    "resultsLimit": 100
}
```

#### Output example

        "verified": false,
        "verifiedReason": null
    }
}
```

A run summary (per-video status, counts) is saved to the `OUTPUT` record of the run's key-value store.

### Pricing

Pay per event — you are charged only for results delivered:

| Event | Free plan | Starter | Scale | Business+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comment | $1.50 / 1,000 | $0.80 / 1,000 | $0.70 / 1,000 | **$0.60 / 1,000** |
| Unavailable or empty target | $0.0020 each | | | |
| Actor start | $0.0005 per run | | | |

Set **Maximum cost per run** in the run options to cap spend — the scraper stops before exceeding it.

### FAQ

**Are replies included?** Top-level comments are; each carries its `replyCount`.

**What if a video was removed or has no comments?** It is listed in `OUTPUT` and billed the small flat unavailable-video fee.

**Do I need an account or cookies?** No. Only publicly visible Douyin data is collected, without logging in.

### Data & privacy

Only publicly visible data is collected. To bill correctly and keep the scraper healthy, each run reports its input (the videos and options you entered), result counts, charges and upstream request counts to FeedPull's own monitoring, tied to a pseudonymous id of your Apify account. Scraped results go only to your dataset. Inputs and per-target details are deleted after 90 days; only aggregate counts are kept.

## MCP server setup

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
