What it does
With douyin-comments, an agent collects discussion from one Douyin video. It gathers top-level comments and replies, removes duplicates and creates a report sorted by likes. Replies stay beneath their parent comment. The agent uses the user’s signed-in Chrome browser. For research, the agent can separately group questions, objections and viewer experiences. Local source records let the user verify completeness and summaries.
Who it is for. Video editors and Douyin audience researchers examining questions under a specific video.
Good fit when
- A follow-up video needs recurring audience questions.
- Discussion analysis needs replies as well as top-level comments.
- You want to identify objections and reported user experiences.
- A summary must be checked against saved original comments.
Not a fit when
- You intend to collect every video from a creator in bulk.
- The comments are on Xiaohongshu or Bilibili.
- Collected personal data would be redistributed without authorization.
Example request
Collect accessible comments from this Douyin video and group viewer questions, noting which threads were checked.Limitations
The workflow requires Claude Code, a connected Claude in Chrome extension and Douyin sign-in; check access to the selected page first. Local processing needs Python 3 and curl. A CAPTCHA stops the agent for manual user verification, so uninterrupted collection is not guaranteed. Deleted, hidden or inaccessible comments are absent, and long discussions may be incomplete; compare record counts and flagged reply threads.
How to disable. Stop the task, close its browser tab and shut down the local data receiver. Reports and raw files remain in the project directory.
FAQ
Which links are supported?
Direct video URLs, pages with `modal_id` and Douyin short links.
Where is the report saved?
Under `.internal/抖音评论/` in the current project, inside the video’s directory.
How is discussion ordered?
By likes, with replies nested under their parent comment.
Why is the total lower than the page count?
The page may count records that are hidden, deleted or inaccessible to your account.
Does it need a paid collection service?
No. The documented workflow uses your browser without a separate paid API.
