How it works

The TikTok Creative Center top ads page loads ad data through a browser-computed authenticated API. This actor uses a real Chromium browser (via Playwright) to load the Creative Center page, intercepts the underlying API calls, and captures the paginated JSON response — including video URLs, thumbnails, engagement metrics, and keywords.

Pagination is handled automatically within a single browser session: the actor intercepts the API request, overrides the page parameter, and reloads the page to collect all requested ads.

Performance notes

• Each run opens one browser session using a residential proxy
• Expect 30–60 seconds for the first page load depending on TikTok server response time
• Each additional page of 20 ads adds 10–15 seconds
• Maximum of approximately 300 ads are available per filter combination from the Creative Center
