❓ FAQ

Which public data can I collect?

Choose ranked public Top Ads or ranked public trending hashtags. Top Ads can include creative, performance, media, landing-page, and targeting fields. Hashtag rows can include category, popularity, and source links.

Do I need a TikTok account or API key?

No. This Actor uses public Creative Center surfaces and does not require a user-supplied source credential.

How are Top Ads ranked?

CTR is the default ranking signal. The input also offers engagement, impressions, conversion, view rate, and For You choices for the selected Top Ads collection.

Can one run collect both result types?

No. Choose one resultType per run. Filters for the other result type are ignored.

What happens when TikTok does not provide a field?

Optional fields are omitted from that row. The Actor keeps source values as available and does not create replacement values.

What does an empty maxItems value do?

Leaving maxItems empty returns all available results until the public source is exhausted.

Are the media and source links permanent?

They are source-hosted links, so the source may change or expire them. The Actor does not promise long-term media storage.

Can one run combine several independently configured ad searches?

No. A run uses one selected result type and one set of input filters.
