## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I pull full comment threads, not just top comments?

Yes. The comment tools return the main comment plus replies and timestamps, so you can see the full conversation instead of a trimmed sample.

### Which platforms are covered?

TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit are all supported. Pick the platform-specific skill and pass the full post or video URL.

### How do I judge which comments matter most?

Use likes on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, and use upvotes on Reddit. The highest-engagement comments usually show the dominant audience reaction.

### Can I use comments to build FAQs or research themes?

Yes. The comment stream is a strong source for repeated questions, objections, and confusion points, which makes it useful for FAQ writing and sentiment analysis.
