How-To TikTok comments
Hello,
Is there any way to find a specific account’s comments across TikTok videos? We kinda able to do this in instagram via search engines but I don’t know how on TikTok.
Thanks

TikTok’s search is terrible for that, it mostly just shows top comments on popular videos and not actual comment history of one user. I tried scraping once with some python script from github but it broke after few days because tiktok keeps changing their api endpoints. If you are doing this for OSINT purpose, your best bet is probably setting up a sock puppet account and manually scrolling through videos where the target account is active, then noting down comment IDs in a sheet.

Not really, at least not reliably. TikTok doesn’t provide a public search function for finding all comments made by a specific account across different videos. Google/Bing may occasionally index individual comments, so searching for the exact username plus some keywords can find a few, but it won’t give you a complete comment history.

Not anymore, I used to be able to with a certain Google prompts, but they blocked their cache from being visible. At least to the best of my knowledge, but if you’re gonna find them, you wanna find the cache it’s the only place.

Not possible, you need to use a service (or do it yourself) that is trying to scrape all comments under all videos. The only one I know of is lolarchiver.com (Not affiliated, I didn't have a sub for over a year, I just sometimes check if they add anything new)
