Image and avatar URLs are TikTok CDN links signed with an expiry — download them promptly if you need the media itself. (URLs above are shortened for readability.)

You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML directly from the Apify Console, or pull it through the Apify API.

❓ FAQs

What does this Actor scrape?

It is a TikTok comments scraper: it collects comments and (optionally) their reply threads from public TikTok videos, with author info, like counts, timestamps, language, and attached images. Use it to scrape TikTok comments for sentiment analysis, audience research or brand monitoring.

Do I need a TikTok account, login, or cookies?

No. The scraper works with public TikTok videos out of the box.

Do I need to configure proxies?

No — the Actor uses Apify residential proxies automatically for reliable access.

How many comments can I get per video?

Up to 10,000 per video via the max_comments input; the default is 50. max_comments applies to each video separately, and a video with fewer comments returns what it has.

Are replies included?

Yes, by default. Each comment carries a nested replies array (up to max_replies_per_comment, max 50). Set include_replies to false to skip them and speed up runs.

How do I turn a run into ongoing monitoring?

Schedule the Actor in the Apify Console to run hourly, daily, or weekly against the same URLs, and compare datasets between runs.

Can I integrate it with my own tools or AI agents?

Yes — every Apify Actor exposes a REST API and webhooks, integrates with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and Slack, and can be called by LLM agents through Apify's MCP server.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok comments?

This scraper accesses only publicly available comments. You're responsible for ensuring your specific use case complies with TikTok's terms of service and applicable laws (including privacy laws) in your jurisdiction. If you're unsure, consult a lawyer.
