TikTok Top Ads Scraper

What does TikTok Top Ads Scraper do?

TikTok Top Ads Scraper returns TikTok's own current list of top-performing ads for a country, as clean structured data. Pick a country, a time window and how you want the ads ranked, and for each ad you get the title, brand, industry, campaign objective, likes, a click-through-rate percentile, a budget tier, and a direct video preview - no TikTok Business account, no login, and no manual browsing required.

Why use TikTok Top Ads Scraper?

• No TikTok account needed - works fully logged out, every run.
• Real performance signals, not just creatives - likes, a CTR percentile and a budget tier for every ad, so you can tell a genuinely high-performing ad from a random one.
• 28 countries - the same ad category can look completely different market to market.
• Three ways to rank - trending (TikTok's own blended relevance score), estimated reach, or click-through rate, depending on what "winning" means for your use case.
• Ready-to-use video previews - a direct link to each ad's video and cover image, so you can actually watch what's working, not just read a title.

What makes this different

Most "ad library" tools hand you a wall of creatives and leave you to guess which ones actually worked. This Actor surfaces TikTok's own top-ad rankings directly - the same ads TikTok itself highlights as high performers for a market - with the engagement and performance numbers already attached, so you can skip straight to "what's working right now" instead of scrolling.

Who uses TikTok Top Ads Scraper?

• Performance marketers and UGC/ad agencies - find proven ad angles and hooks for a market before briefing a new creative, instead of starting from a blank page.
• E-commerce and dropshipping sellers - spot which product categories and offers are currently resonating on TikTok in their target country.
• Growth and social media teams - track what style of ad (format, length, objective) is winning attention this week versus last month.
• Market researchers and consultants - benchmark advertising activity and creative trends across countries for a client report, without manually trawling TikTok.

How it works

1. Your input - a country, a time window, and how you want the ads ranked.
2. The Actor collects it - it reads TikTok's own current top-ad rankings for that market, works fully logged out, and applies the ranking you chose.
3. Your output - one structured record per top ad, with its performance numbers and a video preview, ready for a spreadsheet, dashboard or report.

Usage Examples

• Market pulse check - run country: "US", sortBy: "trending" to see what's broadly winning attention on TikTok right now.
• CTR-driven creative research - run with sortBy: "ctr" to pull the ads with the strongest relative click-through rate in your market, as a source of hooks and angles.
• Multi-market comparison - run the same period and sortBy across a few countries to see how creative trends differ by market.
• Weekly trend tracking - schedule a period: 7 run to catch what's newly trending each week, separate from longer-running winners.

Tips for Best Results

• sortBy: "trending" reflects TikTok's own blended relevance score - a good general-purpose default when you're not optimizing for one specific metric.
• Run the same country and window on a schedule to see how the top-ad lineup shifts over time.
• budgetTier is relative, not an exact spend figure - use it to separate clearly well-funded campaigns from smaller tests, not as a precise budget number.

Known Limitations

• Returns TikTok's own current top-ad list for the chosen country, time window and ranking - typically up to ~20 ads per combination, not an exhaustive archive of every ad running.
• ctrPercentile and budgetTier are relative signals exactly as TikTok itself presents them, not independently verified absolute numbers.
• videoUrl and videoCoverUrl are temporary links issued by TikTok's video delivery network; download or re-host them promptly if you need to keep a copy.
• Reflects a snapshot at the time of the run; TikTok's top-ad rankings change continuously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a TikTok Business account or to log in?

No. Every run works fully logged out.

How many ads can I get per run?

Typically up to around 20 for a given country, time window and ranking - this reflects TikTok's own current top-ad list for that combination, not a fixed limit this Actor imposes.

What does ctrPercentile mean?

It's the click-through-rate percentile TikTok itself assigns the ad relative to other ads in that market and window - a relative performance signal, not a raw click rate.

Can I schedule this to run automatically?

Yes, use Apify's built-in Scheduler to re-check a country on any interval you choose and track how its top ads change over time.

Am I charged for a run that returns no ads?

You're only charged the run-start fee plus the per-ad fee for each ad actually returned.
