TikTok Comment Replies API reference

A page of public replies under one TikTok comment. Takes named parameters, returns a cursor page, 1 credit a call.

This named API keeps TikTok fields in TikTok's own vocabulary. For a higher-level product page, see TikTok Comment Replies API.

Endpoint

Authorization: Bearer sv_live_...

`POST` is also accepted with the same parameters in the request body. Send the key in the `Authorization` header, never in the query string.

`comment_id`	string	yes	Required comment_id value for this endpoint.
`cursor`	string	no	Cursor returned by the previous page.
`limit`	integer	no	Maximum items to return, up to 50.

Fields

Field	Type	Notes
`commentId`	string	The parent comment id you requested.
`replies`	array	Public replies under that parent comment.
`replies[].commentId`	string	Platform reply id.
`replies[].author`	string \| null	Public username only. No profile bio or contact fields.
`replies[].likes`	integer \| null	Reply like count when the platform reports it.
`nextCursor`	string \| null	Pass as cursor to request the next page of replies.
`fetchedAt`	ISO datetime	When Sourcevine read the public page.
`sourceTimestamp`	ISO datetime \| null	The platform timestamp when it is available.
`cached`	boolean	True when this answer repeats an identical request made moments earlier.
`cacheAgeSeconds`	integer	Seconds since the reading was taken.

Availability States

Status	Charged	Client behavior
`available`	yes for live reads	Use data.
`not_found`	yes	Store the state and stop polling.
`private`	yes	Store the state and stop polling.
`unsupported`	no	Fix the URL or call the matching API.
`upstream_unavailable`	no	Retry later with backoff.

Unavailable resources return `success: true`, `available: false`, `availability`, and `data: null`. API or authentication failures return `success: false` with an `error` object.

Billing

A call costs 1 credit. A deleted, private or empty resource is charged like any lookup and says so. An unsupported URL or a read we could not complete is not charged. The `X-Credits-Charged` response header is the source of truth for what happened on that request.

Successful responses include `fetchedAt`, the time we read the platform.

What This API Does Not Return

No contact or bio fields: Bios, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses and messenger handles are outside the response contract.
No private data: Private accounts, restricted content and unavailable resources return typed availability instead of guessed data.
No full thread discovery: This endpoint reads replies for a known parent comment. Use the comments API first when you need to discover parent comments.
