TikTok Top Ads Research

Research curated, high-performing TikTok ads surfaced by Creative Center. Filter by country, 7/30/180-day observation window, ranking, industry, objective, and language. This Actor does not provide exhaustive ad coverage, an EU transparency archive, or every currently running TikTok ad.

Input

• countryCode — uppercase two-letter country code; default US.
• period — 7, 30, or 180; default 30.
• orderBy — impression, ctr, like, cvr, play_6s_rate, or play_2s_rate; default impression.
• industryKey — optional Creative Center industry key.
• objectiveKey — optional supported campaign objective.
• language — optional ISO language code.
• maxResults — 0–500 unique ads; 0 makes no data request and writes no row.
• includeDetails — optional detail lookup for each unique ad.

Example:

{
  "countryCode": "US",
  "period": 30,
  "orderBy": "ctr",
  "industryKey": "",
  "objectiveKey": "campaign_objective_conversion",
  "language": "en",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "includeDetails": true
}

Output

The default dataset contains one row per unique curated Top Ad. Rows include the ad identifier and page, title, brand, industry and objective, available engagement metrics, creative metadata, optional landing page and keywords, detail status, and observation context. A free run summary is written to RUN_SUMMARY; status records are never dataset rows.

Detail lookup is best effort. If it is unavailable, the Actor stores a base row and charges only the base event. Output is timestamped observation data, not a claim that an ad is active now or that the result set is complete.

Pricing events

• Actor start: one event per GB of memory, minimum one.
• Top Ad: one successfully stored base row.
• Top Ad with details: one successfully stored enriched row; this replaces rather than adds to the base-row event.

Empty, duplicate, invalid, failed, and unavailable rows are not charged. Free-user event revenue has zero developer payout under Apify's current rules.

Reliability

The Actor applies bounded retries, Retry-After, request/time/result budgets, stable-ID deduplication, repeated-cursor termination, safe public errors, cooperative cancellation, and charge reconciliation. Partial and uncertain outcomes are reported honestly in RUN_SUMMARY.

FAQ

How much does it cost to run this Actor? Pricing is listed in the Pricing section above, charged per row returned. You only pay for the rows the Actor actually produces, so a small test run costs cents.

Do I need cookies or a login? No. This Actor reads public data only - no cookies, no account, no browser automation.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or via a webhook, and export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

What if I need a slightly different output? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab describing the shape you need.
