TikTok Comments Scraper: With Replies

Get the comments of TikTok videos with their replies, threaded: each reply names the comment it answers and the person it replies to. Every row carries the text, the time it was posted, likes, the reply count, whether the creator pinned or liked it, stickers, images and mentions, and the commenter's id, username, name and picture. No TikTok account, login or cookies needed.

Tested daily. Latest checks: one video read to its end twice, 146 comments and 51 replies each time; 992 comments and replies from two videos in about 2 minutes.

What does this Actor do?

You give it links to TikTok videos (or just video ids). For each video it reads the comment list, and the replies under each comment, and saves one row per comment or reply until it reaches your limit or the end of the list.

Each row comes with:

• the comment's text, the time it was posted (UTC), its likes and its number of replies
• for a reply: the comment it answers, and the reply and person it replies to
• whether the video's creator pinned it or liked it
• stickers, attached images and mentioned users
• the commenter's numeric id, username, display name and profile picture
• the video's own comment count, as TikTok shows it

Why use it?

• Replies included, threaded. Replies are read by default, and each one links back to its comment, so you can rebuild every conversation.
• Find what the creator noticed. See which comments the creator pinned or liked.
• Measure reactions to a video. Collect every comment of your own or a competitor's video for sentiment, questions and feedback.
• Find leads and fans. Every commenter comes with a username and id you can look up.
• Use the data anywhere. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send it to your own tools through Apify's API and integrations.

How to use it

1. Paste one or more video links into Video links.
2. Optionally, set Max comments per video and turn Include replies off.
3. Click Start. When the run ends, open the Output tab to view the comments or download them.

Links that work

A video or photo post link, as in your browser's address bar: https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7691066504380452110. A video id on its own (7691066504380452110) works too. Short share links (vm.tiktok.com/…) are not accepted: open one in a browser and paste the full link. Profile, hashtag, sound and search pages are not supported: this Actor reads the comments of the videos you name.

How much does it cost?

You pay for what you get:

• $0.50 per 1,000 comments ($0.0005 a comment). A reply counts as a comment. Each is charged once per run.
• No start fee, and nothing per video.

So 1,000 comments and replies from each of 4 videos cost $2. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops when it reaches it and keeps every comment saved so far.

How long does a run take?

Expect about 450 comments and replies a minute. In testing, 992 rows from two videos took about 2 minutes, and 200 rows from two videos about 25 seconds.

Good to know

• You may get fewer comments than the video's count. TikTok's count includes replies and comments it no longer shows (hidden, filtered or deleted), and some replies are not shown to visitors at all. So the rows you get are usually below video_comment_total.
• The order is TikTok's own. Comments come in the order TikTok ranks them, not by date. Sort by created_at after the run if you need time order.
• Picture links expire. Profile pictures, images and stickers are signed links that stop working after some time. Download them soon after the run if you need them.
• Check your links first. A link that is not a TikTok video link stops the run before anything is read, and the message names it.
• One video that cannot be read does not stop the run. The other videos carry on, and the run's status lists the videos that could not be read. The run fails only when no video could be read.
• No comments is not an error. A video with no comments, or with comments turned off, saves nothing.

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies? No. The Actor reads the comments anyone can see on the video's page.

Can I get the videos of a profile? Not with this Actor: it reads the comments of the videos you give it.

Can I run it from my own code, on a schedule, or with other apps? Yes. Like any Apify Actor, you can start it through the Apify API, run it on a schedule, and connect it to other apps with Apify's integrations and webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok?

This Actor reads only comments that anyone can see without logging in. The results include commenters' usernames, names, ids and pictures, which are personal data protected by laws such as the GDPR. Only collect personal data when you have a legitimate reason to, and check TikTok's terms and the laws that apply to you. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer.
