🎵 TikTok Video Comments Scraper (With Replies)

Extract TikTok video comments with full nested reply threads — replies are ON by default. Get comment text, author details, like counts, timestamps, and every reply thread for each comment. No login required.

Export scraped data, run via API, schedule and monitor runs, or integrate with AI pipelines and other tools.

What does this actor do?

This actor scrapes comments from one or more TikTok video URLs and returns them as structured JSON — including every nested reply under each comment. Unlike most TikTok comment scrapers that hide replies behind an opt-in toggle (defaulting to OFF), this actor surfaces reply threads by default so you get the full conversation context immediately.

It communicates directly with TikTok's internal comment API using the browser's own session credentials, which means no API keys, no cookies to manage, and no login required.

Why use this actor?

• Replies included by default — full conversation threads, not just top-level comments
• No login or cookies required — works out of the box on any public TikTok video
• Rich structured output — 16 fields per comment including author metadata and nested replies array
• MCP-compatible — output schema is fully documented for AI agent integration
• Reliable pagination — handles videos with thousands of comments

FAQ

Does this require a TikTok login? No. This actor scrapes public comment sections without any authentication.

Does it work on private accounts? No. Only public videos are supported.

How many comments can I scrape? As many as exist on the video. Set maxCommentsPerPost to 0 for unlimited (may be slow for viral videos with millions of comments).

Are replies included? Yes — by default. Set includeReplies: false to disable and only collect top-level comments (much faster).

What about short TikTok links (vm.tiktok.com)? Supported — the actor follows the redirect automatically.
