What is TikTok Ads Scraper?

TikTok Ads Scraper is a TikTok Creative Center API alternative for the Top Ads library. TikTok ranks the ads that performed best on its platform by market, industry, objective, and time window. This actor turns that library into structured TikTok ad data: ad copy, brand, likes, CTR rank, budget level, objective, industry, landing page, and downloadable video and cover links.

You don't need a TikTok account, cookies, or an API key. The easiest way to try it is to open the actor, keep the prefilled US, last 30 days, 20 ads input, and click Start. A run like that takes about 15 seconds.

TikTok Ads Scraper covers the Creative Center Top Ads library only. It is not a full TikTok Ad Library (all ads by one advertiser) scraper, and it does not collect regular TikTok videos.

Python API example

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("parsebird/tiktok-ads-scraper").call(run_input={
    "country": "GB",

JavaScript API example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/tiktok-ads-scraper').call({
    country: 'US',
    period: '7',
    adFormat: 'Spark Ads',
    maxResults: 50,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
const landingPages = items.filter((ad) => ad.landing_page).map((ad) => ad.landing_page);
console.log(`${items.length} ads, ${landingPages.length} with a landing page`);

Use cases

• Creative research: collect winning TikTok ad hooks, captions, and video lengths in your industry.
• Competitor ad monitoring: track which brands and landing pages appear in Top Ads for your market each week.
• Media buying benchmarks: compare CTR rank and budget level by objective, industry, or market.
• Agency pitch decks: pull top ads for a client's industry with cover images and video links.
• Ad creative datasets: build a library of top-performing ad videos and copy for analysis or AI training.

How it works

1. The actor asks TikTok Creative Center for Top Ads that match your market, period, industry, objective, ad format, and sort order.
2. Creative Center shows only 20 ads per list to visitors who are not logged in. To return more, the actor also queries narrower slices of the same filters (by ad format, objective, industry, and sort order) and removes duplicates.
3. If you set a keyword, it keeps ads whose copy or brand name contains every word.
4. If TikTok blocks a request, the actor retries through Apify Proxy automatically.
5. In detailed mode, it opens each ad's Creative Center detail record for landing page, markets, comments, and shares, then saves one row per ad.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok ads?

What is the price per TikTok ad?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per ad saved, and platform usage is included.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold
ad-scraped	$0.00179 ($1.79 / 1,000)	$0.00159 ($1.59 / 1,000)	$0.00139 ($1.39 / 1,000)	$0.00119 ($1.19 / 1,000)

One ad-scraped event is one ad saved to the dataset. The prefilled 20-ad test costs about $0.04 on the Free plan, and 500 ads cost $0.90. Runs that find no ads are not charged for results. Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credits you can use to try the actor.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok Creative Center?

Is scraping TikTok ads data legal?

The actor reads only the Top Ads data that TikTok Creative Center shows publicly to visitors who are not logged in. Scraping public data is generally legal in many jurisdictions, but ad videos and copy are protected by copyright, so don't republish creatives as your own. Respect TikTok's Terms of Service and consult your lawyer if unsure. Read more in Apify's guide: Is web scraping legal?

FAQ

How many ads can I get per run? Up to 500. Creative Center reports how many Top Ads match your filters (for example about 130 for the US over 30 days, and up to a few hundred for all markets over 180 days). Narrow filters, such as one industry in one market over 7 days, can have only a handful of ads. The run log and status message tell you when Creative Center had fewer ads than you asked for.

What does ctr mean? Is it the real click-through rate? No. Creative Center publishes a CTR percentile rank, not the raw rate. ctr: 0.06 is shown on Creative Center as "Top 6%", so lower values are better. Sorting by CTR puts the best-ranked ads first.

What is budget / cost_tier? Creative Center's budget level for the ad (the money spent running the ad video): Low (0), Medium (1), or High (2). TikTok does not publish exact spend.

How does the keyword filter work? TikTok Creative Center only runs keyword search for logged-in users. The actor instead collects Top Ads for your other filters and keeps ads whose copy or brand name contains all of your keyword's words as whole words, in any order and ignoring case. For example, free matches "Free shipping" but not "FreeStyle". A multi-word keyword also matches its hashtag form, so skincare routine matches #skincareroutine. Broad filters (all markets, 180 days) give a keyword more ads to match.

Why is is_spark_ad null for some ads? Creative Center doesn't list the format on each ad. The actor works it out from Spark and Non-Spark filtered lists, and leaves null when an ad doesn't appear in either list.

Why do video links stop working? TikTok's media links are signed and expire after a while. Download the videos soon after the run, or run the actor again for fresh links.

Which countries are supported? The Creative Center Top Ads filter lists 28 markets, including US, GB, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, SE, CA, MX, BR, AU, JP, KR, ID, TH, VN, and AE. Other codes, such as PE, also returned ads in our tests. Codes Creative Center doesn't cover return no ads.

Can I schedule runs or use the API? Yes. Use Apify schedules for recurring runs, and the API tab on the actor page for endpoints and client code.

Where can I report issues? Open the Issues tab on the actor page with your input and run ID.
