Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your filters. If you set a country, objective, or keyword that has no matching ads, the result will be empty. Try broadening your filters or leaving some fields empty.

Why are some ads missing details?

The 'Include Details' option fetches extra data, but TikTok only returns details for about 10% of ads. This is a limitation of the Creative Center API.

Why did the run fail with a timeout?

If you set a high maxItems and includeDetails, the run may take longer. Try reducing maxItems or disabling includeDetails.

Can I scrape ads from a specific advertiser?

Currently, there is no direct advertiser filter. You can use the keyword search to find ads related to a brand or product.

Why are the metrics different from what I see on TikTok?

TikTok updates metrics frequently, and the Creative Center may show rounded numbers. The Actor returns the data as displayed at the time of scraping.
