TikTok Top Ads Scraper & API: Creative Center Ad Spy

TikTok Top Ads Scraper & API: Creative Center Ad Spy

Get the top-performing TikTok ads of any of 28 countries from TikTok Creative Center (Top Ads): the ad video (up to 1080p), brand, ad text, likes, CTR score, campaign objective and industry, plus the landing page, every target country and the second-by-second retention curve of each ad. A logged-out visitor sees only 20 ads per filter; this Actor reads every sort order and splits the ranking by objective, industry, format and language until it has the whole ranking: thousands of ads per country for the last 180 days.

{ "countries": ["US"], "period": "30", "maxAdsPerCountry": 200 }

No TikTok login, no cookies, no browser. Use it as a TikTok top ads API or a TikTok ad spy tool: build a swipe file of winning creatives, find a competitor's ads by brand or domain, or schedule it with Only new ads to get every new top ad of your niche.

FAQ

Why do other tools stop at 20 ads or "3,000 per run"? Logged out, Creative Center returns only the first page (20 ads) of each filter. The Actor reads many filter combinations and merges them without duplicates.

What is the CTR score? TikTok's own 0-1 score of the ad's click-through rate among top ads of the period (shown as "CTR" on Creative Center), not the raw percentage.

Why is the brand empty? Many advertisers do not show a brand name on Creative Center. Use the landing page domain instead (Ad details on).

Are the video links permanent? No: TikTok's CDN links expire after some days. Download the MP4s soon after the run.

Why only 28 countries? These are the countries Creative Center has top ads for.

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies? No.
