Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "postUrls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame/video/7574844184952081686"
    ],

}

run = client.actor("vexaloom-labs/tiktok-comment-and-reply-thread-extractor").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "postUrls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame/video/7574844184952081686"

    "includeCommenterStats": false,
    "maxCommenterLookups": 100,
    "deepWalk": false
};

const run = await client.actor("vexaloom-labs/tiktok-comment-and-reply-thread-extractor").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vexaloom-labs~tiktok-comment-and-reply-thread-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"postUrls":["https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame/video/7574844184952081686"],"maxVideosPerProfile":5,"maxCommentsPerPost":5,"includeReplies":true,"maxRepliesPerComment":5,"maxItems":0,"minLikes":0,"includeVideoMetadata":false,"includeCommenterDetails":false,"includeCommenterStats":false,"maxCommenterLookups":100,"deepWalk":false}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vexaloom-labs/tiktok-comment-and-reply-thread-extractor",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Cost of TikTok Comment & Reply Thread Extractor results by Apify plan
Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.

Official route: TikTok APIs

Limited access. TikTok offers Display APIs for authorized accounts, a Research API for approved academic researchers, and business products. There is no open general-purpose public content API.

Separate products have their own terms; general access is not sold as a self-serve per-call API.
