What is TikTok Top Ads Scraper?

TikTok Top Ads Scraper turns TikTok's Creative Center Top Ads library into structured data. Top Ads is TikTok's public gallery of high-performing ads, ranked by reach, likes, CTR, conversion rate and view rates. The scraper returns every ad's copy, brand, likes, CTR tier, budget level, industry, campaign objective, Spark ad flag, video duration, cover image and video URLs, and with details on, the landing page, comments, shares and the markets where it ran.

It works as a TikTok Creative Center API alternative: no TikTok account and no browser. The easiest way to try it is to keep the example settings (US, last 30 days), click Start, and download the ads as JSON, CSV or Excel a few seconds later.

What can TikTok Top Ads Scraper do?

• 🎯 Every Creative Center filter: market, period (7, 30 or 180 days), industry, campaign objective, ad language, Spark or non-Spark format and likes tier.
• ↕️ Seven sort orders: For You, Likes, CTR, Reach, CVR, 2-second and 6-second view rate.
• 📦 Up to 3,000 ads per run: one Creative Center list stops at 20 ads, so the scraper splits your filters into narrower lists and merges them without duplicates.
• 🔗 Full ad details (optional): landing page URL, comments, shares, markets, all campaign objectives and ad source.
• 🎬 Video assets: cover image, video URLs per resolution, duration and size.
• 🔍 Keyword filter: keep only ads whose text or brand mentions your keyword.

As an Apify Actor it also gives you scheduling for weekly ad monitoring, a REST API, integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack and webhooks, and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and HTML.

How to use the TikTok Top Ads API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("parsebird/tiktok-top-ads-scraper").call(run_input={
    "maxItems": 500,
    "countryCode": "US",
    "period": "30",
    "industry": "Games",
    "orderBy": "like",
})
for ad in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(ad["likes"], ad["ctrTier"], ad["adTitle"][:60])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('parsebird/tiktok-top-ads-scraper').call({
    maxItems: 200,
    countryCode: 'GB',
    period: '7',
    extractDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.map((ad) => [ad.brandName, ad.landingPageUrl]));

Use cases

• TikTok ad spy: see which ads perform best in your industry and market, and how competitors pitch.
• Creative research: study hooks, durations and Spark vs non-Spark formats of high-CTR ads.
• Landing page and offer research: collect where top ads send traffic and which offers they promote.
• Trend monitoring: schedule a weekly run per market and track how the top ads change.
• Agency reporting: export top ads by industry into Google Sheets for client pitches.

How it works

1. Your filters are sent to Creative Center's Top Ads list, the same data the website shows.
2. Because one list shows at most 20 ads, the scraper splits the filters into narrower lists (format, objective, likes tier, industry, market, language and sort order) and merges the results without duplicates.
3. With details on, each ad's detail page data is added.
4. Rows are saved in the order of your Sort by choice, up to Max top ads.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok Top Ads?

TikTok Top Ads Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing with two events:

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
result, per 1,000 ads	$0.99	$0.89	$0.79	$0.69
details, per 1,000 ads with full details	$1.99	$1.79	$1.59	$1.39

details is charged only when Fetch full ad details is on and the details were fetched. For example, 1,000 ads cost $0.99 on the Free plan, or $2.98 with full details. Compute and proxy costs are included in the event price, and you can set a maximum spend per run in Apify Console.

FAQ

How many ads can I get? Up to 3,000 per run. Broad filters reach that: a global 180-day run collected 3,000 ads in about 70 seconds in our tests. Narrow filter combinations can have far fewer ads on Creative Center; the run then saves all it finds and says how many were listed.

How does the keyword filter work? Creative Center's own keyword search is only available to logged-in users, so the scraper collects top ads for your other filters and keeps those whose ad text or brand name contains your keyword. Keyword runs search more lists, so they take longer, and matches can be rare: "nike" matched 3 ads out of about 4,500 global 180-day top ads.

What does ctr mean? Creative Center shows CTR as a percentile among top ads, not a raw click rate. 0.15 means "Top 15%", and lower values are better.

Are keywords and tags included? The keywords and tags fields are filled when Creative Center provides them for an ad. In our tests on 1,000 ads with details they were empty for every ad, while landing pages were available for about 70% of them.

Why are some isSparkAd values null? Spark status comes from Creative Center's Spark / non-Spark lists. A few ads appear in neither list during a run, and their status stays unknown.

Do I need a TikTok account or proxy? No. Runs start without a proxy and switch to Apify Proxy automatically if TikTok blocks the requests.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok Creative Center?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.
