TikTok Ads Scraper — Creative Center Top Ads

What is TikTok Ads Scraper?

TikTok Ads Scraper returns the top-performing ads from TikTok Creative Center's Top Ads library as clean rows: ad copy, brand, video and cover links, likes, click-through rate and its tier, objective, industry, Spark Ads flag, video length and the countries it ran in. Filter by country, industry, campaign objective, ad format, time window and keyword, and sort by likes, CTR, impressions or cost. Performance marketers, media buyers, agencies and AI agents use it to build swipe files and study what works in their category, with no TikTok Ads account.

Why media buyers use it

• Performance signals per ad. likes, ctr and ctr_tier show which creatives earned attention, not just which ones exist.
• The filters Creative Center offers. 50 countries, 18 industries, 7 campaign objectives, Spark Ads or regular ads, and a 7, 30 or 180-day window.
• Sort by what matters. Order by likes, CTR, impressions or cost, or TikTok's For You ranking.
• Keyword search. Find ads that mention black friday or skincare routine in their copy or brand.
• Two output sizes. concise for AI agents and quick swipe files, detailed for the full record with HD video link, dimensions and tags.

For organic content rather than paid ads, start with TikTok Trending Videos Scraper (linked below).

Example workflow: a monthly swipe file

A performance agency running ecommerce accounts pulls the top 50 US Conversions ads in E-commerce & Shopping for the last 30 days, sorted by CTR. They keep ads in the top CTR tiers, note hooks in ad_title, check video_duration_seconds to see which lengths win, and download the videos from video_url right after the run for the creative team. Then they pair the list with TikTok Trending Hashtags Scraper to add trending tags to the next briefs.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. You pay one event per ad saved, plus a start event and the platform usage of the run. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current price.

• 50 ads = 50 ad events + platform usage.
• concise and detailed cost the same per ad.
• maxResults caps each run, so it doubles as a cost ceiling.

Ad research with AI agents (MCP)

Connect this Actor to an AI agent through Apify MCP and ask in plain language:

Get the 20 TikTok ads with the highest CTR in the US beauty industry over the last 30 days. Return ad copy, brand, CTR, objective and video length, summarize the common hooks, and tell me the run outcome.

Agent checklist:

1. Map the request to country, industry, objective, period and orderBy.
2. Use responseFormat: "concise" to keep rows small.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items, then read OUTPUT.outcome.
4. Keep source_url to point people to the Creative Center view.

Builder's note

I found that most people open Creative Center to find ads that already work, so every row keeps the CTR, CTR tier and likes next to the ad copy and video. I learned that agents and swipe files need different amounts of detail, which is why concise and detailed return the same ads at different sizes for the same price.

FAQ

Is this TikTok's Creative Center Top Ads data?

Yes. It reads the public Top Ads library in TikTok Creative Center, with the same filters.

Why is brand_name sometimes empty?

Creative Center shows a brand name only for some ads. The ad copy in ad_title still describes the offer.

Can I download the ad videos?

Each row has video_url and, in detailed mode, video_url_hd. Download them shortly after the run, because the links expire.

Do I need a TikTok Ads account?

No. The Top Ads library is public and the Actor needs no login.

Can I get ads from all countries at once?

Leave country empty to search all markets.
