📥 Input

The simplest input that works:

{
    "videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@ishowspeed/video/7621300668329905422"]
}

• videoUrls: the TikTok videos to export comments from. Full URLs, any number of them.
• maxCommentsPerVideo: default 500. Set 0 to export every comment on the video.
• includeReplies: default false. When on, replies count toward maxCommentsPerVideo.

⚡ Everything from one viral video

{
    "videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@ishowspeed/video/7621300668329905422"],
    "maxCommentsPerVideo": 0,
    "includeReplies": true
}

📦 A batch of videos, capped

{
    "videoUrls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@brand/video/7622233769231142165",
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@brand/video/7613032455011945748",
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@brand/video/7615909607940588310"
    ],
    "maxCommentsPerVideo": 1000
}

📤 Output

One flat row per comment or reply, duplicates dropped. Results stream in while the run is going.

{
    "video_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@txmfitt/video/7613032455011945748",
    "comment_id": "7616086972566078230",
    "parent_comment_id": "",
    "depth": 0,
    "comment": "how many did you do in an hour? I once did 500",

    "pinned": false
    // HIDDEN: reply_to_reply_id, comment_image_url, author_display_name, author_id, reply_to_username, purchase_intent, comment_language, share_url
}

A reply row, same shape:

{
    "comment_id": "7617031854978024193",
    "parent_comment_id": "7616086972566078230",

    "comment": "i did 1,017",
    "author_username": "txmfitt"
    // HIDDEN: same fields as above
}

⚙️ Use it as a TikTok comment API

Every run is an HTTP endpoint: POST the same JSON as the form and the comment rows come back in the response body.

Python

import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thodor~tiktok-comments-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items",
    params={"token": "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"},
    json={"videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@ishowspeed/video/7621300668329905422"]},
)
comments = resp.json()

Node.js

const axios = require("axios");

const { data: comments } = await axios.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thodor~tiktok-comments-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items",
    { videoUrls: ["https://www.tiktok.com/@ishowspeed/video/7621300668329905422"] },
    { params: { token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN } }
);

curl

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thodor~tiktok-comments-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@ishowspeed/video/7621300668329905422"]}'

Big video? Swap run-sync-get-dataset-items for runs to go async with a webhook. n8n, Make, and Zapier take the same input.

💡 Tip: no need to write the JSON by hand. Fill in the form on the Input tab, switch the editor from Form to JSON, and copy the result into your code.

💰 How much does it cost to export TikTok comments?

You pay per comment or reply pushed to the dataset, at the rate on the price card on this page. Retries, blocks, and duplicates cost nothing.

maxCommentsPerVideo is the cost cap. The default of 500 keeps a first run cheap.

⚠️ A viral video can be a big bill. maxCommentsPerVideo: 0 with replies on against a 600,000-comment video bills all 600,000 rows.

❓ FAQ

Is there a free tool that can scrape TikTok comments? Yes. Registering on Apify comes with $5 of free platform credit every month, no credit card needed. That covers around 10,000 comments.

Do I need a browser extension to export TikTok comments? No. This runs in the cloud: nothing to install, no tab to keep open, works from any device.

Is there an official TikTok comments API? TikTok's Research API is limited to vetted academic researchers, and the commercial Display API does not return comments. This actor works with any Apify account.

Can I export comments from a whole profile by username? No. Input is video URLs only; the old username mode was removed.

In what order do rows arrive when replies are on? Page by page: top-level comments first, then their replies, then the next page. For all top-level comments first, run once with replies off.

Why did a video return 0 comments? Some videos have comments switched off or simply none. Blocks retry automatically, so 0 means there was nothing to get.

Can I track new comments on a video over time? Yes. Put the actor on an Apify Schedule (daily or weekly) with the same URLs and compare runs on comment_id to see what is new.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok comments? The actor reads only publicly visible comments on public videos. Storing and using personal data is governed by rules like GDPR; check what applies to your project.
