TikTok Comments Scraper (Video Comments & Replies)

What is TikTok Comments Scraper?

TikTok Comments Scraper returns the public comments of TikTok videos as one clean row per comment: the text, author, like count, reply count and date. Turn on Include replies to also get the replies under each comment, marked so you can rebuild the thread.

Use it for comment sentiment analysis, audience research, spotting common questions and objections, tracking how a video's discussion changes over time, or collecting comments for a brand-monitoring report.

What data does TikTok Comments Scraper extract?

Field	Description
commentId, text, createdAt, likes	The comment itself and its engagement
replyCount	How many replies TikTok shows under the comment

videoId, videoUrl	The video the comment belongs to
authorUsername, authorNickname, authorUid, authorVerified, authorAvatarUrl	Who wrote it
language	Language TikTok detected for the comment

How to use TikTok Comments Scraper

1. Add Video URLs: https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/… links, one per line or comma-separated. Short vm.tiktok.com links and bare video IDs also work.
2. Set Max comments per video (default 100).
3. Optional: turn on Include replies and set Max replies per comment (default 10).
4. Run. Rows are saved as they arrive, so a stopped run keeps what it already collected.
5. Download the rows as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.

Example input

How much does it cost?

Pay per result: $0.001 per comment or reply ($1 per 1,000), with volume discounts on paid Apify plans. URLs that are not TikTok video links and videos TikTok cannot load go to the ERRORS record and cost nothing. Set Maximum cost per run to cap spend.

Limits

• TikTok returns about 20 comments per page. A video whose comment pages TikTok stops serving ends early; the run's ERRORS record says when a page could not be loaded. Pages are not counted as errors when they are simply empty.
• Replies are read one level deep: replies to replies are not included.
• Avatar URLs are signed by TikTok and expire after some days.
• The Actor fetches pages directly and switches to Apify Residential proxy only if TikTok blocks the direct request.

Using TikTok Comments Scraper with AI agents

The Actor is pay-per-event with limited permissions, so AI agents can call it through Apify's MCP server (mcp.apify.com), for example with {"videos": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7665075736742530317"], "maxComments": 50}. It also accepts videoUrls, urls, url and startUrls.

FAQ

Is scraping TikTok comments legal? The Actor reads comments that anyone can see on a public video page, without an account. Check that your use of the data, especially personal data in comments, is allowed where you are.

Can it read private or deleted comments? No. Only the comments TikTok shows publicly are returned.

Does it return the videos themselves? No. It returns comments only. Use the TikTok Profile Scraper for the video's view and like counts.
