TikTok Comments API

Pull TikTok comments at scale with author, text, likes, and reply threads.

What is the TikTok Comments API?

The TikTok Comments API lets you pull comments with author, text, likes, and replies from TikTok with a single REST call. No OAuth, no scraping infrastructure, and no platform SDKs — send the URL, get clean structured JSON back. Results are cached for 24 hours, so repeat lookups are instant and free.

What you get

Comment text, author name, and handle
Like counts and reply threads
Pagination via the limit parameter
Timestamps for trend and sentiment analysis

Example request

curl "https://api.captapi.com/v1/tiktok/comments?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40username%2Fvideo%2F7311234567890123456" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer capt_live_..."

  "success": true,

        "likes": 42,
        "replies": 3
      },
      {
