Rumble Comments API. Comments and replies, page by page.
Comments and replies on a video or live stream. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.
Rumble Comments API at a glance
Returns the public comments on a Rumble video, short or live stream, replies included, a page at a time, newest first or by likes. Each has its text, posting time, likes and dislikes, reply count, the comment a reply answers, a permalink, and the commenter's username, name, avatar and badges, with whether the video's own channel wrote it. Accepts any Rumble video link, embed links included, or a video ID.

}200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/rumble/commentsLong arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.Docs One schema on 9 platforms.
The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
Null means unknown
A field Rumble doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
Rumble video, short or live stream URL (rumble.com/v…-title.html, /shorts/v…, /share/v…, /embed/v…/) or a video ID (v…).
Write one parser
Rumble, TikTok, Instagram and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring- Platform-native comment ID (string; Reddit with its t1_ prefix).
post_idstring- ID of the post commented on (equals post.id).
parent_idstring- ID of the comment this replies to; null for top-level comments.
urlstring- Permalink, when the platform has one.
textstring- Comment body as plain text.
authorobject- The commenting account. An account the platform no longer names (a deleted account) has a null id and username and the platform's label as display_name (Reddit: [deleted]).
published_atstring- When the comment was posted, RFC 3339 UTC. Where the platform shows only a relative time ("3 weeks ago"), the latest time that label allows (the fetch time minus the stated amount), listed in approximate_fields.
Live data from 33 platforms.
What teams build with the Rumble Comments API.
Track audience reactions to videos and streams
Monitor new comments since a date
Analyze whole threads, replies included
Build comment datasets for research
Good to know before you build.
- Replies are included, and parent_id names the comment a reply answers. Sorted newest, comments and replies are mixed in time order; sorted popular, each comment is followed by its replies.
- Rumble shows comment times to the minute, so published_at is exact to the minute and listed in approximate_fields.
- Rumble's comment count for a video (on its page and in the Rumble Video API) includes comments it no longer lists, so a full walk can return fewer.
- metrics.reply_count is Rumble's own count of a comment's replies and can exceed the replies returned, for the same reason.
- author.id is null: Rumble's comments name the commenter by username only (author.username is user/<name>, which the Rumble Channel API takes).
- Videos whose comments Rumble shows only to signed-in viewers or buyers return private_or_unavailable.
