TikTok Ads Library & Creative Center Scraper

Extract public TikTok ads, top creatives, landing pages, advertiser data, and creative insights from TikTok Ads Library and TikTok Creative Center for competitor research, creative analysis, and marketing intelligence.

What does TikTok Ads Library & Creative Center Scraper do?

This Apify actor unifies two public TikTok advertising surfaces into a single ad intelligence product:

• Ads Library mode — Scrapes public ad records, advertiser data, ad dates, regions, video URLs, and landing pages from TikTok's Ad Library (library.tiktok.com).
• Creative Center mode — Scrapes top-performing ads and creative intelligence data from TikTok Creative Center (ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter), with filters for country, industry, objective, and ad format.

You can run either mode independently or both together in a single execution.

Why use this scraper?

• Unified dual-surface scraping — One actor covers both TikTok Ads Library and Creative Center
• Creative intelligence — Automatic creative pattern detection, CTA categorization, hook extraction, and analysis bucketing
• Landing page research — Domain extraction and page type inference for every ad
• Source lineage — Every row tracks which surface, search term, and filters produced it
• Deduplication — Merges duplicate ads found across surfaces while preserving lineage
• Agency-ready output — Flat, CSV-friendly schema with analysis buckets (shortlist, review, reference) for reporting
• Summary statistics — Aggregated stats by country, industry, advertiser, CTA, and creative patterns saved to Key-Value Store

Use cases

Dataset views

The output dataset includes four pre-configured views:

• Overview — Key fields: source, advertiser, caption, CTA, landing page, dates, metrics, analysis bucket
• Creative Analysis — Hook text, offer text, CTA category, creative patterns, performance label, analysis reason
• Advertisers — Advertiser/brand details, objectives, industries, competitor relevance
• Landing Pages — Landing page URLs, domains, page types, CTAs

Summary output

When includeSummary is enabled, a summary is saved to the Key-Value Store under the SUMMARY key:

• Total ads by source surface, country, industry, objective, format
• Top advertisers by ad count
• Top landing-page domains
• CTA category distribution
• Creative pattern tag distribution
• Active vs ended ads
• Run timing and status

Creative analysis fields

When includeCreativeAnalysis is enabled, the actor derives these fields using text-based heuristics:

Field	Description
hookText	First sentence or first 80 characters of the ad caption
offerText	Extracted discount/offer patterns (e.g., "50% Off", "free shipping")
ctaCategory	Normalized CTA: shop-now, learn-more, sign-up, download, subscribe, contact, watch, apply, claim, other
creativePatternTags	Detected patterns: ugc-style, product-demo, testimonial, urgency-hook, discount-offer, social-proof, question-hook, listicle, problem-solution, emotional-appeal, product-closeup, comparison
creativeSummary	Generated summary of the creative approach
performanceLabel	Engagement-based label: viral-creative, high-interest, moderate-interest, low-interest
analysisBucket	Priority bucket: shortlist (score 60+), review (35+), reference (15+), low-priority
analysisReason	Human-readable explanation of bucket assignment
hasStrongOfferSignal	Whether a discount/offer was detected in the ad text

These fields are derived heuristics — they help identify patterns but are not official TikTok metrics.

Landing-page enrichment

When includeLandingPageFields is enabled:

Field	Description
landingPageDomain	Extracted domain from landing page URL
landingPageType	Inferred type: product-page, collection-page, lead-form, content-page, landing-page, app-download, homepage, other

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok ads?

Pricing is usage-based — charged per ad record returned in the dataset output (ad-result event). Filters and limits are user-controlled so you only pay for the results you need.

Creative analysis and landing-page enrichment are included at no extra cost when enabled.

Important notes

• All data comes from public TikTok ad and creative surfaces only.
• Some fields are source-dependent and may not always be present — unavailable fields will be null.
• Creative-analysis fields are derived heuristics, not official TikTok data.
• Performance-like fields (likes, comments, shares, impressions) are only included when publicly exposed by TikTok.
• Partial results are possible when one source surface changes or limits access.
• This actor does not access private advertiser accounts, campaign performance data, or audience targeting data.

Limitations

• TikTok may change page structure or API responses at any time, which could temporarily affect extraction.
• Not all fields are available from both surfaces — Creative Center provides creative intelligence while Ads Library provides ad records and dates.
• Historical completeness depends on what the source surfaces expose.
• Performance metrics are approximations based on publicly visible data.
• Residential proxies are recommended for reliable access to TikTok.
• Creative pattern detection is keyword-based and may not capture every creative style.
