About TikTok Comments Scraper API
Need to pull TikTok comments for research, sentiment analysis, or just to see what people are really saying? This scraper is my go-to. It taps directly into TikTok's mobile API, which is the most reliable way I've found to get comment data, including those nested replies that other tools often miss. The big sell for me is the cost—it genuinely runs for less than most alternatives on Apify, making it practical for larger projects where budget matters. I've used it to gather thousands of comments for brand monitoring and academic studies without hitting snags. If you need to collect TikTok engagement data at any kind of scale, this actor handles the heavy lifting. For highly specific or custom scraping needs that go beyond the standard setup, the developers also run scraptik.com, which is worth checking out.

How to Use
You can run the actor using the graphical input form on Apify or by calling its API directly.
API Request Example (cURL):
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scraptik~tiktok-comments-scraper-api/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Required Input:
* listComments_awemeId: The unique ID of the TikTok video you want to scrape comments from.
Input/Output
Input (JSON):

{
"listComments_awemeId": "6944028931875949829"
}
Output (JSON):
The actor returns an array of comment objects. Each contains the comment text, ID, creation timestamp, and user information.
{
"comments": [
{
"cid": "6947114404706025477",
"text": "The cross of the connecting to the h was the most satisfying thing I've ever witnessed.",

}
]
}
Notes & Limitations
- As an unofficial API, it makes live requests to TikTok. Occasional temporary errors may occur; retrying the request usually resolves them.
- For high-volume needs (many requests per second), contact ScrapTik directly via https://scraptik.com to discuss custom solutions.
- Need more endpoints (users, videos, search)? Check out the Full TikTok API on Apify.
Pricing
The cost is $0.002 per execution request. You are charged for each API call, not per comment retrieved, making costs predictable.
