  "summary": "This brief explains how to export TikTok comments to CSV or Excel format without using the official API. The process involves using Apify, a web scraping platform, with a single command to generate a CSV file containing comments, likes, and text from a specified TikTok video link. The command includes parameters such as the maximum number of comments per video, the desired output format, and the specific columns to include in the output. The brief also provides information on how to access the data using Python through the Apify client, as well as details about the data format and pricing.",
