Apify TikTok Scraper - Help

At a glance
Hello,
I used the TikTok comment scraper and got about 500 comments from a video with 77000 comments. Which comments are being scraped? In which order are the comments listed? Can I choose myself which comments should be scraped?

Hi With Tiktok Comments Scraper you can change the amount of comments that are going to be scraped by changing "Max comments per post" to your desired number, you can enter some big number like 999999 which would result in scraping every comment that there is but note that scraping more then 500 comments can be a bit slow.
Every comment should be scraped, excluding replies, but you can also scrape that by modyfing the "Max replies per comment" field in the Actors input.
TikTok Comments Scraper doesnt currently offer option to filter out different comment, you would have to do that on your own.

If you would have any other question specifically around this Actor i suggest you to create a ticket in the Actor's issues tab which you can find here:

Ok, thank you very much.
However, if I don't want to scrape all the comments, is there any way to find out which comments have been scraped? For example the first 200 or the last 200 or randomly selected?
Im not sure what is the specific order, you would have to ask in the issues tab but i would guess its mix of newest / most liked and replied comments. So setting for example 500 comments per post would most likely scrape the first 500 comments of that tiktok shows.
