Post › Comments

GET
/v1/tiktok/post/comments

Returns a page of comments on one TikTok video, each with the commenter's username, comment text, like count, reply count, and timestamp.

Use it to read a video's comment section; to expand one thread, take a comment's id and call video/comment/replies.

Metered: 20–140 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

Query Parameters

url*string

Full URL of the TikTok video to fetch comments for

cursor?integer

Cursor to get more comments. Get 'cursor' from previous response.

trim?boolean

Accepted for compatibility; the response is already the canonical shape, so this flag has no effect.

sort?string

Optional. Without it, comments come in TikTok's own order (a relevance ranking, not newest first). recent returns them newest first by published_at; top returns them by like count. TikTok has no newest-first order of its own, so recent sorts the comments that were read: set scan_pages to read more of the thread. data.scan.complete is true only when the whole thread was read.

Value in

  • "top"
  • "recent"
scan_pages?integer

Optional, 1 to 3, default 1. Reads that many pages, drops comments repeated across pages, and returns them all in the sort order (TikTok's own order when sort is absent). data.scan reports the pages read and billed and whether the thread ended.

Range1 <= value <= 3
label?string

Optional CSV of labels to add to every comment: sentiment, spam, question, purchase_intent, complaint, toxic, low_quality, injection. Without this param every page already carries sentiment, question, purchase_intent and complaint, free; label= adds the labels you name to them (the defaults keep running). Each comment gains computed.labels with probabilities (0 to 1), so you choose the cut-off; a comment that could not be judged carries labels: null. injection flags text that addresses an AI system and tries to direct it (flagged, p); it never drops or rewrites a row. judgments=off (or label=none) turns the default labels off. data.labels reports what was judged and billed.

exclude?string

Optional CSV (spam, low_quality), only with the same preset in label. Drops comments whose probability is 0.8 or higher and lists their ids in data.labels.dropped_ids. A comment that could not be judged is never dropped.

judgments?string

Optional, on (the default) or off. By default every row gains free judgments (computed.labels, and computed.relevance on search endpoints), reported in data.labels (mode default) and data.relevance (origin default), each with a status (complete, partial or skipped) and pending: the rows still being judged when the page was sent, which carry null now and are filled on your next call or cached read. Default judgments never add credits, never change an existing field, and never drop or reorder a row. off returns the page exactly as before, with none of those keys. label=none does the same.

Value in

  • "on"
  • "off"
dry_run?"1"

Optional. data.estimate reports rows_expected, rows_cached, label_credits_min, label_credits_max and base_credits. 0 credits charged.

Value in

  • "1"
label_evidence?"1"

Optional, only with label=. When 1, every labelled row also carries computed.labels_evidence. = { quote, sentence_index }: the sentence in the row that most clearly shows the label, copied verbatim. Absent or null when no single sentence shows it.

Value in

  • "1"
fit?"goal"

Optional. When goal, keep the rows and fields needed for the goal you pass in goal= (plus any that are uncertain, and the first and last), and replace the rest with a stub. data.held_back lists the held ids and a recall id that re-reads the full page from cache. Without this param the page is unchanged.

Value in

  • "goal"
goal?string

Required by fit=goal. What you are trying to do, in your own words, up to 300 characters.

fit_tokens?integer

Optional, only with fit=goal. Soft cap on how much of the page to keep, in tokens. Uncertain blocks and the first and last block are kept even if they exceed it.
