# Douyin Comment Replies API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/douyin/comment-replies)

> Returns the reply thread under one Douyin comment: text, replier, like count, IP region and verification. Every row carries comment.parent_id set to the comment you asked about, so a thread reassembles without guesswork. Get the comment ID from GET /v1/douyin/post/comments.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/douyin/comment/replies` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Douyin video URL or the bare numeric aweme ID the comment sits under. |
| `comment_id` | yes | The comment to expand, taken from the id field of a GET /v1/douyin/post/comments row. Only comments with a non-zero engagement.replies have a thread. |
| `limit` | no | Replies to return, 1 to 50. Default 10. Each reply costs 5 credits and you are charged only for replies returned. |
| `cursor` | no | Continuation token from a previous response's pagination block. Omit for the first page. |

## FAQ

### Where do I get the comment ID?

From the id field of any row returned by the Douyin comments endpoint. Only comments whose engagement.replies is greater than zero have a thread to open.

### Is the parent link reliable?

Yes, and that is why this is a separate endpoint. The parent is the comment ID you supplied, echoed back on every row, so the link is exact by construction rather than inferred.

### Can I paginate a long thread?

Yes. This endpoint returns a cursor when more replies exist. Pass it back to walk deeper, and stop when no cursor comes back.

### Do replies carry the same fields as comments?

Yes, plus parent_id. You get the text, replier, like count, IP region and verification status in the same canonical comment shape used across every platform.

### Why not just fetch replies with the comments call?

The comments upstream cannot express a reliable parent for a reply, so a thread built from it would attach replies to the wrong comment. This endpoint asks the source that can.
