## FAQ

### How do I scrape TikTok comments with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/post/comments with the video URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns a paginated list of comments with text, author handle, like count, reply count, and creation timestamp.

Each comment returns the comment id (cid), author username and display name, comment text, like count, reply count, creation timestamp, and a flag for whether the post author pinned the comment.
