TikTok Ads Library Scraper | Ads & Targeting | $0.29/1K

TikTok Ads Library Scraper exports ads from the public TikTok Ad Library (Commercial Content Library) by brand, advertiser name or keyword. Get ad text, video, first and last shown dates and estimated reach for $0.29 per 1,000 ads, platform usage included. Add advertiser, payer, objective, reach by country with age and gender, and targeting for $0.60 per 1,000 ads. No TikTok account, login or cookies needed.

Built for marketers, agencies, e-commerce teams and analysts who want to see what competitors advertise on TikTok, which products and angles they push, and which countries and audiences they target.

Why choose this TikTok Ads Library scraper?

• Low, all-inclusive price. $0.29 per 1,000 ads, or $0.89 with full details. Platform usage (compute, proxies) is included, so the price you see is the price you pay. Several TikTok ad scrapers charge Apify platform usage on top of their per-result price, or add a start fee per run.
• More ads per search. The TikTok Ad Library only shows a few hundred ads per search. This scraper splits the date range automatically and keeps going, so large brands and broad keywords return many more ads.
• Built for a busy library. Detail pages are opened in parallel and the pace adapts to the TikTok Ad Library: more pages at once when it answers quickly, fewer and with short pauses when it slows down, so runs keep going instead of getting blocked.
• You never pay for gaps. Duplicate ads are free. Details are charged only when they were actually obtained. Ads requested by ID that cannot be read are not charged.
• Every ad found is delivered. The search runs first, then details are added. If the library slows down or the run nears its time limit, the remaining ads are still delivered (without details, which are then not charged). The status message shows progress live and the run summary flags searches that are partial.
• Full targeting data. Reach per country with the age × gender breakdown, targeted ages and genders, interests, custom audiences, languages, devices, objective, payer and advertiser registration country.
• No login, no cookies, no TikTok account.

Tips for large searches

• Narrow the search with a country and dates: you get more relevant ads and faster runs.
• For thousands of ads, run the search without details first, then put the IDs of the ads you care about in Ad IDs to get their details. It is quicker and cheaper.
• When the TikTok Ad Library is busy, detail pages slow down for every tool. The status message says so, and if detail pages become extremely slow the remaining ads are delivered without details, which are not charged.

Coverage and limits

• The TikTok Ad Library covers ads shown in the European Union, EEA, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Turkey and Brazil. Ads shown only in other countries are not in the library.
• Dates can go back up to one year.
• The library shows a few hundred ads per search. For larger searches the scraper automatically splits the date range, so you can collect more. Very large searches can return fewer ads than the total reported by the library; the run summary marks them as partial.
• Some removed ads (status: "unavailable") have no advertiser name, even with details.
• Reach values are ranges published by TikTok (for example 1K-10K), not exact numbers.
• For some ads TikTok does not publish reach, countries or objective, even when the advertiser details are available (for example some advertisers registered outside the EU). These fields are then null or empty: this is what the library shows, not a scraping error.
• Video and image links are temporary links published by the library.

FAQ

Is this the cheapest way to scrape the TikTok Ad Library? At $0.29 per 1,000 ads with platform usage included, it is lower than the TikTok ad scrapers we checked in the Apify Store on 5 November 2026, which charge between $0.40 and $15 per 1,000 ads, often plus platform usage or a start fee. Prices change, so compare the total cost of a test run.

Why is the total cost lower than other scrapers? Because platform usage is included in the price, details are charged only when obtained, and duplicates are free. You do not get a separate compute bill.

How many ads can I get for one brand or keyword? As many as the library shows for your dates. Searches are split by date automatically to go past the few hundred ads TikTok shows per search. Very busy periods can return fewer ads than the total reported by TikTok; the run summary flags them.

Why are reach or countries empty for some ads? The TikTok Ad Library does not publish reach, countries or objective for every ad. When TikTok leaves them out, the scraper returns null instead of guessing. Advertiser ID, registration country, payer and target audience size are usually still available with details.

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies? No. The scraper reads the public TikTok Ad Library like a visitor does.

What is the difference between search and details? Search returns the ad, its creative and dates. Details add who advertises and pays, the objective, reach by country with age and gender, and targeting. Details take longer because each ad page is opened.

Can I search by advertiser and by keyword? Yes. Each line is searched as the library does: advertiser names and words in the ad.

Can I get specific ads? Yes. Put ad IDs in Ad IDs in the advanced options. Details are fetched for each ID.

Does it work for the TikTok Creative Center top ads? No. This Actor covers the TikTok Ad Library (Commercial Content Library) only.

How do I monitor a competitor? Save an Apify task with the brand and schedule it. Each run returns the ads shown in the chosen period; compare runs by adId.
