TikTok Comments & Images Scraper

TikTok Comments & Images Scraper extracts comments and replies from public TikTok videos — including photo and sticker image URLs attached to comments. Paste one or more TikTok video links and get structured rows with text, likes, reply counts, author profile fields, pinned status, and media URLs ready for export or API pipelines.

Many comment scrapers return text and likes only. This Actor also maps comment image attachments: when a comment includes an uploaded photo or a sticker, the dataset includes imageUrl / imageUrls instead of leaving media blank.

Why scrape TikTok comments with images?

Comment media carries context that text alone misses: product photos, receipt screenshots, meme stickers, and visual reactions. Teams use this Actor for:

1. Brand monitoring — catch image complaints or unboxing photos in replies
2. Moderation / trust & safety — review visual comment content with URLs
3. Creator analytics — measure which comments (and media) drive engagement
4. Social listening — feed comment text + images into research or LLM pipelines
5. Campaign creative research — collect sticker and meme formats audiences reuse
6. Influencer due diligence — sample recent comment media before a deal
7. UGC discovery — find product photos fans post under viral videos
8. Support triage — pull screenshot-style comments for known issue threads
9. Competitive intel — compare comment media mix across rival creators
10. Dataset enrichment — join image URLs onto an existing TikTok comments table

Output

Each dataset item is one comment or reply:

{
  "commentId": "7632408908891833095",
  "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame/video/7631024397754600735",
  "videoId": "7631024397754600735",
  "text": "The editor:",
  "createTime": "2026-04-24T12:44:51.000Z",
  "diggCount": 574051,
  "replyCommentTotal": 1204,
  "authorUsername": "someviewer",
  "authorNickname": "Some Viewer",
  "authorAvatarUrl": "https://p16-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...",
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://p16-comment-sg-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...~tplv-jj85edgx6n-image-origin.image"
  ],
  "imageUrl": "https://p16-comment-sg-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...~tplv-jj85edgx6n-image-origin.image",
  "isPinned": false,
  "parentCommentId": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-31T12:40:00.000Z"
}

Text-only comments still include the image fields — imageUrls is [] and imageUrl is null. Sticker comments populate the same image fields from TikTok’s sticker asset URLs.

Field	Description
commentId	TikTok comment id
videoUrl / videoId	Source video
text	Comment text, or null when empty
createTime	ISO timestamp
diggCount	Likes on the comment
replyCommentTotal	TikTok-reported reply count
authorUsername / authorNickname / authorAvatarUrl	Comment author
imageUrls / imageUrl	Photo or sticker URLs (imageUrl is the primary)
isPinned	Pinned / stickied by the creator
parentCommentId	Parent comment id for replies, otherwise null
scrapedAt	When this row was scraped

Download results as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab, or pull them via the Apify API.

Tips

• Prefer full https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/{id} URLs over short vm.tiktok.com links when possible.
• Use residential proxies; datacenter IPs are often challenged by TikTok.
• Raise maxItems for deeper threads; replies also count toward maxItems when maxReplies > 0.
• Comment photo and sticker CDN URLs can expire — download media promptly if you need a durable archive.

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for each comment row in the dataset (from $3.99 per 1,000 results on the FREE Store plan, lower on higher tiers) plus the small Actor-start fee. Platform compute and residential proxy usage for the run are included in that model for standard Store plans — keep maxItems modest while testing.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok comments?

This Actor collects information that is publicly visible on TikTok video pages without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data, including personal data of comment authors under GDPR and similar laws. Use results only for legitimate purposes and review TikTok’s Terms of Service for your use case. If unsure, consult your lawyers.

FAQ

Does this scrape comment images and stickers?

Yes. Uploaded comment photos and sticker assets are mapped into imageUrl / imageUrls when TikTok’s public comment API returns them.

Do I need a TikTok account?

No. The Actor reads the same public comment endpoints available to logged-out web visitors.

How is this different from a text-only comments scraper?

This Actor focuses on the comment media gap — returning image and sticker URLs alongside standard comment fields for workflows that need visual comment content.

Can I scrape replies?

Yes. Set maxReplies above 0. Each reply row sets parentCommentId to its parent comment.
