TikTok Comments Scraper

Scrape public TikTok video comments with nested replies, author metadata, likes, language, pinned status, timestamps, and source video links. The actor is provider-backed with ScrapeCreators first and SociaVault fallback, so it does not need TikTok login cookies, browser sessions, or user-managed proxies.

What It Extracts

One dataset row is one top-level TikTok comment. Replies are nested under that parent row so sentiment tools, spreadsheets, and AI agents keep the full conversation together.

Field	Description
comment_id	Unique TikTok comment ID
video_id	TikTok video or aweme ID
video_url	Public TikTok video URL
text	Comment text
author_username	Commenter username
author_nickname	Commenter display name
author_id	Commenter numeric TikTok user ID
author_sec_uid	Commenter secUid when returned
author_avatar_url	Commenter avatar URL
like_count	Likes on the comment
reply_count	Total replies reported for the comment
is_pinned	Whether the video author pinned the comment
language	Detected comment language code
created_at	Comment creation timestamp
replies	Nested reply objects with text, author, likes, and timestamps
provider	Provider used for the row
scraped_at	Time the actor saved the row

When To Use

Use this actor for:

• TikTok sentiment analysis by video URL
• Brand monitoring and creator campaign analysis
• Influencer vetting from real audience replies
• Voice-of-customer research from public comment sections
• AI and BI pipelines that need one clean comment dataset
• Collecting reply threads without building a TikTok session stack

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Top-level TikTok comment saved	$0.001

Nested replies are included inside each top-level comment row and are not charged as separate comment events. At the start of each run, the status message shows the approximate maximum cost from your input caps.

Reliability

The actor uses managed public-data providers:

1. ScrapeCreators for the primary TikTok comments and replies route.
2. SociaVault as fallback when the primary route errors, rate-limits, or returns no usable page.

The run writes OUTPUT and RUN_SUMMARY records with provider attempts, status codes, pages fetched, rows saved, replies saved, credits used, stop reason, and estimated PPE cost.

API Example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/tiktok-video-comments-scraper').call({
  postURLs: ['https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente/video/7623818255903329566'],
  maxCommentsPerPost: 50,
  includeReplies: true,
  maxRepliesPerComment: 20
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
