TikTok Comments API for sentiment and engagement research

The YepAPI TikTok Comments API extracts the comments on any TikTok video. Submit the video URL and page through the comment text, each tagged with its author, like count, and reply count — the raw material for sentiment analysis and audience research at scale.

It is the endpoint for understanding how audiences react, not just how many watched. Combine it with the TikTok Comment Replies API to read full threads, or the TikTok Video API to pair reactions with the post's metrics.

What is a TikTok Comments API?

A TikTok Comments API returns the comments left on a specific video as structured data instead of a rendered page. With YepAPI you POST a video url to /v1/tiktok/comments and receive a comments array where each entry holds the comment text, a user object with the commenter's uniqueId, a diggCount (likes), and a replyCount, along with a cursor for paging. Because TikTok provides no open comment endpoint, this gives you reliable access to the conversation under any public video — the foundation for sentiment analysis, brand monitoring, and engagement research.

Build your own sentiment analysis tool

This endpoint powers a sentiment-analysis tool: pull a video's comments, run the text through your NLP model, and score audience reaction as positive, negative, or neutral. Weight comments by diggCount to emphasize the reactions that resonated most, and flag high-replyCount threads for deeper inspection. Use it to monitor brand mentions or measure how a campaign landed. Pair with the TikTok Video API to correlate sentiment with reach, all under one YepAPI key that also covers YouTube and Instagram comments.

TikTok Comments API pricing — $0.01 per call

Each call costs $0.01 and returns one page of comments (default 20) plus a cursor. You pay per page, so the cost scales with how many comments you pull. Harvesting 1,000 comments from a viral video across 50 pages costs about $0.50 — affordable enough to run sentiment analysis across an entire campaign's worth of videos.

Rank reactions by likes and discussion

Not every comment carries equal weight. The diggCount lets you surface the most-liked reactions — often the sharpest praise or criticism — while replyCount highlights the comments sparking the most discussion. Sorting on these fields turns a flat comment dump into a prioritized view of what an audience actually cares about, making your sentiment and engagement research faster and far more meaningful.
