TikTok Ads Library Scraper

🚀 TikTok Ads Library Scraper

The TikTok Ads Library Scraper searches the TikTok Ad Library (TikTok's ad transparency library for Europe) and turns every ad into a clean row: advertiser, ad text, first and last shown dates, unique reach, ad video and image links and the cover image. Turn on details to also get the landing page URL, call to action, campaign objective, the advertiser's country and TikTok account, who paid for the ad and the full audience targeting (age, gender, countries, interests, audience size, impressions by country). Search by keyword or by advertiser in any EU/EEA country, the UK, Switzerland or Turkey, and export TikTok ad examples to JSON, CSV or Excel. It works like a TikTok Ad Library API, with no account and no key.

🎯 Use Cases

• TikTok ads spy and competitor research: list every ad a competitor ran on TikTok in Europe, with dates, reach and the landing pages they send traffic to.
• TikTok ad examples and inspiration: pull hundreds of ads for a product or niche ("skincare", "running shoes") with their video links, ready for a swipe file.
• TikTok ads download: every video ad comes with a direct video link and a cover image, so you can download TikTok ads in bulk.
• TikTok ads targeting research: see which ages, genders, countries and interests an advertiser targets and how big the audience is.
• TikTok ads transparency and compliance: monitor ads that mention your brand, track who pays for them, and check which ads were removed.
• Ad intelligence datasets: feed ad copy, objectives, categories and reach into dashboards, AI models or market research.

✨ Features

• Keyword or advertiser search: words in the ad text (use "double quotes" for an exact phrase), or an advertiser name or link from the library.
• 33 regions: all EU/EEA countries, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Turkey, one at a time or all together.
• Date range and status: ads shown between two dates (absolute or "30 days" ago), all, active or inactive ads.
• Ad data: ad ID and link, advertiser, ad text, format (video or image), first and last shown dates, unique reach range, video links, cover and image links, and whether the ad was removed.
• Ad details (optional): landing page URL, call to action, objective, ad category, advertiser country, who paid, the advertiser's TikTok account (username, followers, account type) and targeting with impressions by country, age and gender.
• Deep searches: when a search has more ads than the library lists at once, the scraper splits the date range and keeps going, newest ads first.
• Fair billing: each ad is saved and charged once per run, even when the library repeats it across pages. Details are charged only when they loaded.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter a keyword or an advertiser and pick a region and dates.
2. Run the scraper: each ad becomes one row, newest first. Turn on Include ad details for landing pages and targeting.
3. Download or connect: export JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the dataset through the Apify API.

Reach and impressions are ranges, as the library publishes them. advertiserId is filled for advertiser searches and for every ad with details. Without details, the details fields are not in the row and detailsScraped is false. Video and image links are signed by TikTok and expire after a few hours, so download them soon after the run.

📅 Schedule and Integrate

To track a competitor's TikTok ads, save the advertiser search as a Task and run it daily or weekly with Apify Schedules, with Shown from set to "7 days". Send new ads to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own system through webhooks and the Apify API.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

The TikTok Ads Library Scraper works as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent can call it with:

{ "keyword": "protein powder", "region": "GB", "maxItems": 20 }

❓ FAQ

What is the TikTok Ad Library? It is TikTok's public ad repository, also called the TikTok commercial content library or ad transparency library. Under the EU Digital Services Act, TikTok publishes the ads shown in Europe with their advertiser, dates, reach and targeting. This scraper searches it for you and returns the results as data.

Does it include US ads? No. The library covers ads shown in the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Turkey only, so ads that ran only in the US or elsewhere are not in it.

Is there a TikTok Ad Library API? TikTok offers a commercial content API to approved researchers only. This scraper works without an application or a key: enter a keyword or an advertiser and run.

How do I see a competitor's ads on TikTok? Enter the competitor in Advertiser as the library lists it (e.g. Zalando SE), or paste the advertiser link from the library. If the name is not exact, the run tells you the similar advertiser names it found.

How do I download TikTok ads? Every video ad has its video link in videoUrls and a cover image in coverImageUrl. Download them right after the run, because the links expire after a few hours.

How many ads can I get? As many as the search has. The library lists a few hundred ads per search at a time, so for bigger searches the scraper splits the date range into smaller parts and continues. Raise Max ads to get more.

Why do some ads have no video or image? Some ads, like catalog ads, show products the library does not publish. They come with the ad text and dates and format: "image".

Is the TikTok Creative Center the same thing? No. The Creative Center shows a selection of top ads for inspiration. The Ad Library lists all ads shown in Europe, with advertiser and targeting data.
