TikTok Comment Replies API

Returns the public replies to a top-level comment on a TikTok video or photo post, a page at a time. Each reply has its text, exact posting time and like count, the replier's username, name, ID and verified badge, its language, the comment it answers, and whether the creator wrote or liked it. Send a comment link, or the post's link and comment_id.

200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/tiktok/repliesLong 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 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/<id> or /@user/photo/<id> link, m.tiktok.com/v/<id>.html, embed and player URLs, vm.tiktok.com/<code>, vt.tiktok.com/<code>, tiktok.com/t/<code> or a numeric video ID; or a comment link (TikTok's comment share link with share_comment_id, or a video link with comment_id), which names the comment too.
Write one parser
TikTok, Instagram, Facebook 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.

What teams build with the TikTok Comment Replies API.

Read the conversation under a viral comment
See how a creator answers in replies
Rebuild full comment threads for research

Good to know before you build.

comment_id must be a top-level comment: a reply's ID returns invalid_input naming its top-level comment.
TikTok doesn't order replies by time, so since and until aren't offered.
A comment that isn't on the video returns not_found, and private videos and videos with comments off return private_or_unavailable.
