How to use the TikTok Ads Scraper

1. Create a free Apify account
2. Open TikTok Ads Scraper
3. Add a query to the input field, this could be a company name, domain, or a search string that appears in the ad
4. Click Start and wait for the results
5. Download the results in JSON, XML or CSV format or connect the actor to your backend via API

📥 Input

To run the actor, you can input a:

• adIds (optional) - An array of specific ad IDs to scrape. When provided, the actor will skip the search functionality and directly fetch the detail pages for these ads. Example: ["1848459287600130", "1820197122833570"]

• Query - A query to search for ads. This can be a company name, domain, or a search string that appears in the ad.

• Advertiser Name - An advertiser name to search for ads.

• startDate / endDate (optional) - Date range to filter ads (use ISO format YYYY-MM-DD). If startDate is omitted, it defaults to 1 year ago; if endDate is omitted, it defaults to the current time. If startDate is later than endDate, the default range (1 year ago → now) is applied. If endDate is in the future, the current time is used instead.

• timezone (optional) - Timezone string (e.g., Europe/London). If left empty, the server's default timezone (UTC) is used.

• quickSearch (optional) - When set to true, the scraper will skip the detail page requests and return data directly from the search results. This is faster but will result in missing fields (see Output section for details). Defaults to false.

Note: If adIds is provided, the actor will ignore all other search parameters (query, advertiserName, etc.) and directly fetch the specified ads.

You can provide either query, advertiserName, or both. When both are set, the actor prioritizes advertiserName (it tries to resolve the advertiser and, if it cannot, falls back to using the advertiser name as the query). If you leave query empty, set country to a specific region (anything except all).

📤 Output

The results are stored in the default dataset associated with the actor. Each item is an ad, having the following format:

⚠️ Note on quickSearch mode:
When quickSearch is enabled, the scraper skips detail page requests for faster execution. However, the following fields will be null or missing:

• advertiserId
• advertiserName
• advertiserCountry (not included in output)
• adImpressions (not included in output)
• advertiserPaidForBy
• adTotalRegions
• targetingByLocation
• targetingByAge
• targetingByGender

Use quickSearch: false (default) to get complete data with all fields populated.

💡 Note:
The following enum is used for adtype:

Type	Value
text	"1"
video	"2"
image	"3"
