Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Comments Scraper Extract comments from public TikTok video URLs through Scrappa. Use it for creator research, campaign monitoring, social listening, sentiment analysis, and comment export workflows. ### Features - Comment text, IDs, timestamps, like counts, and reply counts - Comment author details including TikTok user ID, username, nickname, and avatar - Pagination support with `cursor` - Dataset rows optimized for Apify table views - Full Scrappa response saved to the `OUTPUT` key-value-store record ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `url` | string | Yes | Public TikTok video URL | | `count` | integer | No | Number of comments to return, 1-50 | | `cursor` | string | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response | ### Example Input ```json { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7568510388342443294", "count": 20 } ```` ### Output Each TikTok comment is saved as one dataset item: ```json { "comment_id": "7093219663211053829", "text": "Great video", "create_time": 1710000000, "digg_count": 42, "reply_count": 3, "user": { "user_id": "123456789", "unique_id": "example_user", "nickname": "Example User", "avatar": "https://..." }, "video_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7568510388342443294" } ``` The full API response is saved to `OUTPUT`, including `data.hasMore` and `data.cursor` for the next page. ### Pagination Run the actor once without `cursor`. If `OUTPUT.data.hasMore` is true, run it again with `cursor` set to `OUTPUT.data.cursor`. ### Support For higher-volume usage or direct API access, use Scrappa at https://scrappa.co. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Full TikTok video URL to fetch comments from. ## `count` (type: `integer`): Number of comments to return from this page. Scrappa accepts 1-50. ## `cursor` (type: `string`): Pagination cursor from a previous run. Leave empty for the first page. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7568510388342443294", "count": 20 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7568510388342443294" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("thescrappa/tiktok-comments-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
