TikTok Ads Scraper - Creative Center Top Ads Data (No API Key)

Scrape the TikTok Creative Center Top Ads ranking for TikTok ad intelligence and creative research, with no login and no API key.

Ideal for competitor ad research, TikTok trends analysis, and building a swipe file of winning creative.

Here is one real result, with every field the actor returns (the title text is trimmed here for readability; the live record returns the full ad caption):

The record also returns the ad's downloadable video URLs (videoUrl, videoUrlHd, videoUrlSd, and a videoUrls map of resolutions), omitted from the block above only because the signed URLs are very long. They are present and real in every record.

The most complete TikTok Creative Center top-ads scraper available. It returns every field the Creative Center exposes for each ranked ad, including engagement metrics (CTR, likes, comments, shares), campaign objective breakdown, industry, landing page and downloadable video URLs, and gives you market, time-window, sort, objective, language, and industry filters to target exactly the ads you need.

What it does

The actor pulls the Top Ads ranking from the TikTok Creative Center for the market, time window, and sort metric you choose, optionally fetches each ad's detail page for richer fields (comments, shares, landing page, keywords, objective breakdown), and writes one normalized record per ad to the run's dataset. Each record carries the ad caption, brand/industry, engagement metrics, campaign objective, downloadable video URLs in multiple resolutions, extracted hashtags and mentions, and the landing page domain. Missing source values are returned as null, and ads are de-duplicated by ID.

Use cases

• Competitor ad research: see which brands and creatives are winning in your industry and market, ranked by CTR, likes, impressions, conversion rate or view rate.
• Creative swipe file: download the actual ad videos (multiple resolutions) and cover images to study hooks, pacing and formats.
• TikTok trends analysis: track trending hashtags, mentions and campaign objectives week over week by re-running across time windows.
• Landing page and funnel intelligence: capture each ad's landing page and domain to map competitor offers and funnels.
• Ad performance benchmarking: compare CTR, likes, comments and shares across brands, industries and objectives to set your own benchmarks.
• Feed a dashboard or model: export clean JSON, CSV or Excel for BI tools, spreadsheets or an internal ad-intelligence dataset.

How this compares to other TikTok ads scrapers

This actor is built to be a strict superset of the popular TikTok Creative Center / TikTok ads scrapers on Apify: it accepts the same filters and returns the same data, plus more fields and cleaner output.

Capability	This actor	rastriq/tiktok-top-ads-scraper	codebyte/tiktok-creative-center-top-ads	Typical TikTok ads scrapers

Notes: we cover 33 markets today (the most requested English and Latin American markets); competitors list more country codes but return the same per-ad data. We honestly return only fields the Creative Center actually exposes, so metrics like reach and view-rate that the source does not return per ad are used as sort orders, not invented as output columns.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 10 top US ads by click-through rate over the last 7 days, with detail fields.

{
  "maxAds": 10,
  "withDetails": true,
  "country": "US",
  "period": "7",
  "orderBy": "ctr"
}

Change country to any of the 33 supported markets, period to 7/30/180 days, and orderBy to rank by likes, impressions, conversion rate, or view rates. Free Apify plans are capped at 10 ads per run.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~tiktok-creative-center-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"country":"US","period":"30","orderBy":"like","maxAds":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~tiktok-creative-center-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"country":"BR","period":"180","orderBy":"ctr","withDetails":true,"maxAds":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/tiktok-creative-center-scraper \
  --input '{"country":"MX","orderBy":"impression","objective":"3","maxAds":50}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per ad record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxAds.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched no ranked ads. Loosen the filters (for example clear objective, adLanguage, or likesTier), or widen the period. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why is brandName or keywords null? The Creative Center did not expose that field for the ad, or withDetails was off. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

How do I get comments, shares, and the landing page? Keep withDetails on (the default). Those fields come from each ad's detail page.

Do the video URLs expire? Yes. The signed video URLs are time-limited by TikTok's CDN. Download promptly after a run.

Which markets are covered? 33 markets, including the US, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Japan, India, and more. See the country input for the full list.

Is there a TikTok ads API, and do I need an API key? You do not need any API key, login, or access token. This actor reads the public TikTok Creative Center Top Ads data directly and returns it as structured JSON, CSV, or Excel, so it works like a TikTok ads API without you managing credentials.

Can I download the ad videos and cover images? Yes. Each record includes the ad's cover image and downloadable video URLs in every resolution the source offers (videoUrl, videoUrlHd, videoUrlSd, and a videoUrls map). The signed URLs are time-limited by TikTok's CDN, so download promptly.

How do I run TikTok competitor ad research? Pick your market and industry, sort by CTR or likes, and keep withDetails on. You get the top-performing ads with brand, engagement metrics, campaign objective, landing page, and the creative itself, which is everything needed to benchmark competitors and build a swipe file.

Can I filter to Spark ads only? Yes. Set adFormat to Spark ads or Non-Spark ads, and combine it with objective, industry, language, and likes-band filters to narrow the ranking.

How is this different from a TikTok video or hashtag scraper? This actor targets the Creative Center Top Ads ranking (paid ads and their performance), not organic videos or hashtags. For trending hashtags with growth metrics, see the related TikTok Hashtag Analytics Scraper below.

Is this an official TikTok tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with TikTok or ByteDance. It reads only data that is publicly available in the TikTok Creative Center. Use it in accordance with the TikTok terms of service.
