Build custom comment analyses into your product

Modash's Raw API fetches data for any public Instagram, TikTok or YouTube profile on demand. Common use cases include sentiment analysis, influencer campaign reporting and creator vetting.

Go as far back as you need

Analyze the last 12 videos, or fetch a longer content history as needed. Or, point the API at single post/video URLs instead of a creator profile.

See the whole creator

Fetch a creator's related profiles and run the same analysis across their social media identities. For example, put in an Instagram handle, and check their comments across TikTok and YouTube too.

Bring your own logic

The Raw API returns the raw data. Layer your own code rules or LLM analyses on top to decide what gets categorized, flagged and surfaced as you need.

How this tool works

When you input a channel handle, first the tool uses the Channel Info endpoint to fetch the channel's name, photo and subscriber count for the results card.

Next, it uses the Uploaded Videos endpoint to find the last 12 videos, and the Video Info endpoint to get each video's date, comment count and description. At the same time, it reads each video's comments with the Video Comments endpoint.

Finally, custom code and an AI model run over the raw data to sort out thin comments, genuine questions and buying intent.

  1. 01
    GETChannel Info

    Fetches the channel's name, profile photo and subscriber count for the top of the results card. One request.

  2. 02
    GETUploaded Videos

    Lists the channel's latest long-form videos, newest first. One request.

  3. 03
    GETVideo Info

    Gets each video's publish date, comment count and description. One request per video, made while its comments load.

  4. 04
    GETVideo Comments

    Fetches comments on each video, 20 at a time. Busy videos take more pages, so total requests depend on the volume of comments.

  5. 05
    Comment checks

    Code flags thin comments and spots likely questions. An AI model (Jev) judges which comments show buying intent and which questions are genuine.
