It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## TikTok Video Scraper with Comments ### Overview The **TikTok Video Scraper with Comments** is an Apify actor that allows you to scrape TikTok video data along with their comments and replies. This powerful tool helps you extract structured data from TikTok URLs, including the video details, user comments, and replies. #### Key Features - **TikTok Video Data Extraction**: The actor scrapes the video details, including the URL, author, and metadata, even if no comments are present. - **Customizable Comments Limit**: Specify the number of comments to retrieve for each TikTok video. - **Replies to Comments**: Configure the number of replies fetched for each comment or disable it for performance optimization. - **Proxy Support**: Use Apify Proxy (or custom proxies) for more reliable runs. *** ### **⚠️ Important Feature Highlight ⚠️** #### **Integrated Video Data in Comments** - If includeVideoInFirstComment is checked: The TikTok video details are embedded within the first comment object for each scraped TikTok url. If no comments exist, the video details will be included in one dummy comment object to ensure consistency. - If includeVideoInFirstComment is NOT checked: The TikTok video details are excluded from the comment object entirely, and only the standard dataset fields (without embedding the video in comments) are provided. *** ### Input Schema #### Input Properties 1. **`startUrls`** (required) - **Type**: `array` - **Description**: List of TikTok video URLs to scrape. - **Example**: ```json [ { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@therock/video/7456475589663362350" } ] ``` 2. **`commentsLimit`** (optional) - **Type**: `integer` - **Description**: Maximum number of comments to scrape per video. - **Default**: `100` 3. **`oneCommentRepliesLimit`** (optional) - **Type**: `integer` - **Description**: Maximum number of replies to scrape for each comment. Setting this to `0` disables replies fetching. - **Default**: `0` 4. **`includeVideoInFirstComment`** (optional) - **Type**: `boolean` - **Description**: If checked then each tiktok video data will be included in the first comment in each scraped url - **Default**: false 5. **`proxyConfiguration`** (optional) - **Type**: `object` - **Description**: Proxy settings for the crawler. Recommended for production runs. - **Default / prefill**: `{ "useApifyProxy": true }` #### Input Example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@therock/video/7456475589663362350" } ], "commentsLimit": 100, "oneCommentRepliesLimit": 0, "includeVideoInFirstComment": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` *** ### Output Schema #### Properties | **Field** | **Type** | **Description** | | ----------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | tiktok_video | json | TikTok video details (embedded in the first comment). | | originUrl | string | The provided TikTok video URL. | | text | string | Text content of the comment. | | id | string | Unique identifier for each comment. | | isPinned | boolean | Whether the comment is pinned. | | createdTime | date | Timestamp when the comment was created. | | commentLang | string | Language of the comment text. | | authorUsername | string | Username of the comment author. | | authorNickname | string | Nickname of the comment author. | | authorPicUrl | string | Profile picture URL of the comment author. | | diggCount | integer | Number of likes on the comment. | | diggedByAuthor | boolean | Indicates if the comment is liked by the author. | | repliesCount | integer | Total number of replies to the comment. | | reply_to_nickname | string | Nickname of the user the comment replied to. | | reply_id | string | Unique identifier for the reply. | | replies | json | Array of replies to the comment. | *** #### Output Example ```json [ { "originUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@therock/video/7456475589663362350", "id": "7456661078770238251", "text": "Damn I knew he would be there.
