What people build with the TikTok Comments API

Read the reaction

See what viewers said under a launch, a review or a competitor's post.

Sentiment analysis

Feed real comments into a model to score how a product or a campaign landed.

Check engagement quality

Before you hire a creator, read whether their comments look like real people.

Quote it, then run it

1. free quote: the exact price, nothing charged

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/tiktok \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"comments","subjects":["https://www.tiktok.com/@nba/video/<video-id>"],"limit":50,"estimateOnly":true}'

2. the same call, run

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/tiktok \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"comments","subjects":["https://www.tiktok.com/@nba/video/<video-id>"],"limit":50}'

Inputs

Everything you can send in one comments call. Required inputs first.

Input	Type	What it does
subjects *	text list	Video or photo URLs. 1-10 items
limit	integer	1-100

What comes back

The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

Show all 13 rows

Field	Type
commentId	string
comment	string
likes	integer
replies	integer
postedDate	string
commenter	string
commenterId	string
commenterUrl	string
commenterAvatar	string
pinnedByCreator	boolean
likedByCreator	boolean
mentions	list of string
details	object

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.

A sample answer

Made-up names and values in the real field names, so you can see the shape before you spend anything.

commenter	comment	likes	replies	postedDate	pinnedByCreator
@ravi.k	Doing this every morning now	2140	12	2026-10-14	false

Pricing

Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.

Request	Records	At the list price
One comment	1	$0.00045
10 comments	10	$0.0045
A full page	100	$0.045

These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

Try it without writing code

Open the TikTok Comments API in the playgroundThe playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.

Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself

No login, no TikTok account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

Use it from your tools

Questions people ask.

What does the TikTok Comments API return?

One row per comment: commenter, comment text, likes, reply count, posted date, whether the creator pinned or liked it, comment id, commenter id and commenter URL.

What do I pass in?

Up to ten video or photo URLs in subjects, and a limit from 1 to 100.

How much does it cost?

$0.00045 per comment at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true, which is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back.

Why people pick API for Agents

One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
$0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
