TikTok Ad Library Scraper - Commercial Content Library EU

TikTok Ad Library scraper for the official TikTok Commercial Content Library: search competitors' TikTok ads by advertiser name or keyword in the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK, and get first and last shown dates, days running, unique users seen, ad title, category, video and cover links.

What does TikTok Ad Library Scraper do?

It runs the same search you would do on library.tiktok.com and turns the results into clean rows: one row per ad. Pick a country (or all covered countries), a time window and one or more advertiser names or keywords. No TikTok account, cookies, API key or proxy setup needed: the proxy is included in the price.

The TikTok Ad Library is TikTok's public ad transparency archive under the EU Digital Services Act, so it covers ads shown in the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK.

Who is it for?

• Performance marketers and media buyers: see which creatives a competitor runs right now, how long each one has been live and how many people it reached.
• Agencies: pull a client's or a prospect's full TikTok ad history for a pitch or an audit in minutes.
• Brand and market research teams: track how many ads a category or brand runs per country and month.
• Creative strategists: collect video and cover links of long-running ads (the ones that keep getting budget) as inspiration.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for ads: $1.50 per 1,000 ads on the Free plan ($0.0015 per ad), with lower prices on paid Apify plans: $1.35 (Bronze), $1.275 (Silver) and $1.20 (Gold and above) per 1,000. Proxy and platform usage are included.

Examples at the Free-plan price:

• The 100 most recent ads of one brand: $0.15
• 500 ads of 5 competitors in one country: $0.75
• A weekly check of 10 competitors with 50 ads each: $0.75 per run, about $3.00 per month

Set "Max results" or a maximum cost per run to cap spending. Searches the library does not answer are not charged.

How to use it

1. Click Try for free.
2. Type one or more advertiser names or keywords, for example zalando or nike.
3. Choose the country where the ads were shown (or all covered countries) and the time window in days.
4. Set how many ads you want per search, then click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or via API.

Results are sorted by last shown date, newest first, so a small "Max ads per search" gives you the ads that are live now.

FAQ

Which countries are covered? The TikTok Ad Library only lists ads shown in the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK. Ads shown only in the US or elsewhere are not in the library.

Can I search by keyword instead of advertiser? Yes. The search works like the library's own search box: an advertiser name or a word. Results include every advertiser that matches, with the real advertiser name on each row.

How many ads can I get per search? Up to 2,000 per search in one run. For very large advertisers narrow the time window or the country, or add more searches.

Do the video links last forever? No. TikTok signs creative links and they expire after some time. Download the creatives you want to keep soon after the run.

Does it show ad spend or impressions? No. TikTok does not publish spend for commercial ads; "unique users seen" is the reach range TikTok reports.

Is it legal to collect this data? It collects the public ad transparency data TikTok publishes for the EU. You are responsible for how you use it.
