FAQ

Q: Do I need a TikTok Ads account?
A: No. The TikTok Creative Center leaderboard is publicly accessible without an account or login.

Q: How often does the ranking update?
A: TikTok updates the Creative Center leaderboard periodically, typically daily. Run the actor on a daily or weekly schedule for trend tracking.

Q: Can I get the actual video files?
A: Yes. The videoUrls field contains direct download links at available resolutions (360p through 1080p). These URLs may expire — use them promptly after collection.

Q: What is the industry filter format?
A: Industry keys follow the pattern label_NNNNNNNNNNN (e.g. label_14104000000). Run the actor once without a filter and inspect the industryKey values in the results to discover valid keys for your vertical.

Q: What does orderBy: for_you mean?
A: for_you uses TikTok's own recommendation score, which blends multiple signals beyond just CTR or likes. It is the default ranking used by the Creative Center's "Top Ads" tab.

Q: How many ads can I collect per run?
A: Up to 500. The Creative Center typically surfaces 100–300 unique ads per country and period combination.

Q: Can I filter by multiple countries at once?
A: No. Each run targets a single country. To collect data for multiple countries, run the actor once per country and merge the results.

Q: What is the cost field?
A: It is a TikTok cost-tier indicator (0 or 1) from the Creative Center's raw API response. It is not an actual spend figure.
