The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/tiktok/comment/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/comment/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field TikTok doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts The TikTok video or photo post the comment is on: a tiktok.com/@user/video/\ or /@user/photo/\ link, m.tiktok.com/v/\.html, embed and player URLs, vm.tiktok.com/\, vt.tiktok.com/\, tiktok.com/t/\ or a numeric video ID; or a comment link, which names the comment too: TikTok's comment share link with share_comment_id, a video link with comment_id or cid, or the app's share link of a comment (vm.tiktok.com/\, resolved on TikTok). - ### Write one parser TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native comment ID (string; Reddit with its t1_ prefix). - **`post_id`string**: ID of the post commented on (equals post.id). - **`parent_id`string**: ID of the comment this replies to; null for top-level comments. - **`url`string**: Permalink, when the platform has one. - **`text`string**: Comment body as plain text. - **`author`object**: 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_at`string**: 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.
