🔍 What is the TikTok Video Scraper?

Give it TikTok video URLs, copied straight from the app or the web. Bare video IDs work too. For each one it returns:

• 🎬 the video — caption, views, likes, comments, shares, saves, duration
• 📈 an engagement rate computed from those counts
• 🏷️ hashtags, mentions and the sound used

Switch on the comments add-on and the thread comes too, comment by comment.

⚡ What can it do?

• 🔗 Take links exactly as you copied them. No ID extraction, no tidying up.
• 💬 Collect the whole comment thread (add-on — off by default), or cap it at a number you choose.
• 🔢 Filter comments by likes and drop the noise.
• 🚧 Cap how far a filter searches, so a narrow filter stops rather than running away with your budget.
• ⚠️ Report a video it cannot reach, rather than dropping it silently.
• 📄 Export anywhere. JSON, CSV, Excel — the dataset is yours.

🎯 Every comment is a comment on the video

The thread comes back as comments made directly on the video, so a count taken over it is a count of what people said to the creator — not a mix of those and replies people made to each other, which quietly inflates every figure you compute from it. repliesCount on each row tells you how much conversation a comment started.

⚡ Speed and accuracy

Speed. Measured on a real run with the comments add-on on: 1 video and 25 comments in 2 seconds.

Accuracy. Comments are de-duplicated by ID, so a paging overlap never double-counts. Counts are numbers, not display text. Timestamps are ISO 8601. Engagement rate is computed from the raw counts on the same row, so you can check it. Hashtags come from the video's own entity list rather than a regex over the caption. A video that cannot be reached is written to the dataset as an error row with the input you gave and a plain-English reason, so a short dataset is never a silent one.

📊 What data does it return?

Video rows (rowType: "video") — returned on every run:

Field	Notes
📝 videoCaption, captionLength	The caption and its length
🔗 videoUrl	Direct link to the video
📊 viewsCount, likesCount, commentsCount, sharesCount, savesCount	Engagement, as numbers
📈 engagementRate, engagementTotal	Engagement as a percentage of views, and as a total
⏱️ durationSeconds	Video length
🏷️ hashtags, mentions	Lifted from the caption's entity list
🎵 musicTitle, musicAuthor	The sound used
🖼️ coverUrl, playUrl	Cover image and video file
🏷️ authorHandle, authorDisplayName	Who posted it

Comment rows (rowType: "comment") — only with the comments add-on on:

Field	Notes
💬 commentText	The comment
📊 likesCount, repliesCount	Engagement on the comment — including how many replies it drew
🏷️ authorHandle, authorDisplayName	Who wrote it
✅ authorIsVerified	Whether the author carries a verified badge
📅 publishedAt	When it was written, ISO 8601

🚫 What it does not return

• Videos from private accounts. They are not publicly visible.
• Deleted or region-blocked videos.
• Analytics only the video's owner can see — watch time, audience demographics.
• Direct messages or drafts.

💰 How much does it cost?

You pay per event, for what the run actually produces — never for runtime, and never on a subscription.

Standard rate: 💵 $0.0037 per video. Comments are an add-on at 💵 $0.0015 each, and are off unless you switch them on:

Run	Cost
🟩 100 videos, no comments (the default run)	💵 $0.37
🟨 10 videos + 50 comments each (add-on on)	💵 $0.79
🟧 100 videos + 100 comments each (add-on on)	💵 $15.37

A video that cannot be reached is free. So is a comment your filters remove. A month you do not run it costs nothing at all — there is no plan to keep alive.

What you get for that

📈 Engagement rate computed per video	✅
🔀 Replies marked and linked to their parent	✅ (comments add-on)
🏷️ Hashtags and mentions as arrays	✅ free
🎵 Music title and author	✅ free
⚠️ Unreachable videos reported, not dropped	✅ free
💳 Minimum spend	none

🚀 How do I use it?

1. Paste one or more TikTok video URLs.
2. Run as-is for the videos alone — that is the default, and the video rate is the only charge it makes.
3. Or switch on 💬 Include the comment thread — it is off by default — to add the thread, and set maximum comments per video to control what that costs.
4. Run, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Real rows, captured from a live run.

A default run returns video rows only:

[
  {
    "rowType": "video",
    "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675",
    "authorHandle": "tiktok",

    "rowType": "comment",
    "commentText": "j thought it was 16 because of the emoji😳",
    "authorHandle": "t3ss51",
    "likesCount": 182,

  }
]

❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need a TikTok account? No. No account, no cookies, no API key.

What link formats work? Full video URLs copied from the app or the web, and bare video IDs.

Are comments included by default? No. The comment thread is an add-on and is off by default — a default run returns videos and is charged the video rate and nothing else.

Are comments charged at the video rate? No — comments are cheaper, and a video-only run costs only the video rate.

Do I get replies to comments? No — the thread comes back as comments made directly on the video. repliesCount tells you how many replies each one drew.

Can I find videos by keyword or creator instead of pasting links? For a creator's videos, use the TikTok Profile Scraper.
