Comments,
answered.

What do I get for each comment?

The text, like count, reply count, date and the commenter’s public profile, plus the ID of the comment it replies to. Replies come back nested under their parent, in the same format on every platform.

Do I need a login or an app for each platform?

No. One Monocrawl key covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and the rest. There is no OAuth app to register and no tokens to rotate.

Which platforms can I get comments from?

YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Threads, all with the same key. The platform list on this page shows what is live right now.

Do I get the replies too?

Yes. Reddit threads come back with replies nested inside each comment. On TikTok, Instagram and YouTube you get each comment’s reply count, and can fetch the replies under any comment you want to read.

How many comments can I get from one post?

As many as the post has. Comments come a page at a time, so read one page for the top reactions or keep paging until the thread ends.

Can my AI agent read the comments?

Yes. Connect it over MCP and ask about any post. It fetches the comments, pages through them and answers with quotes.
