TikTok Comments Scraper

What is TikTok Comments Scraper?

TikTok Comments Scraper extracts comments and replies from TikTok videos with exact numbers, ISO 8601 timestamps, and 18 fields per comment — ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, and analysis pipelines.

Why use this scraper?

Replies that actually work

Other TikTok comment scrapers have known issues with reply fetching. Our scraper returns complete reply threads with parentCommentId linking each reply to its parent — so you can reconstruct the full conversation tree.

Fields you won't find elsewhere

• commentLanguage — filter comments by language without running your own detection
• isCreatorLiked — identify which comments the creator engaged with
• isPinned — find creator-highlighted comments instantly
• authorSecUid — cross-reference commenters with profile data from other scrapers

Exact data, not approximations

Every like count is an exact integer (3998, not 4K). Every timestamp is ISO 8601 (2026-03-16T19:52:57.000Z, not 2 months ago). Download to CSV and your data is ready for analysis — no parsing, no guessing.

Use cases

• Sentiment analysis — extract comments with language detection to analyze audience reactions across regions and languages.
• Influencer analytics — identify which comments creators engage with via isCreatorLiked and isPinned fields.
• Competitive research — compare comment volumes, engagement rates, and audience sentiment across competing creators.
• Community management — monitor reply threads for brand mentions, complaints, or opportunities to engage.
• ML training data — structured JSON with 18 fields per comment, ready for classification, sentiment models, or recommendation systems.
• Trend detection — track comment volume and sentiment on trending videos to identify emerging topics.

Good to know

Replies are fetched per comment. When Include Replies is on, the scraper fetches reply threads for each comment that has replies. This makes runs slower but gives you complete conversation data. A video with 500 comments and heavy reply threads may take 2-3 minutes.

Multiple videos in one run. Pass an array of video URLs or IDs and get all comments in a single dataset. Each comment includes videoId so you can filter by video.

Video IDs accepted. You can pass full TikTok URLs (https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123...) or just the numeric video ID (7617913537561693470).
