## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which countries does the TikTok Creative Center scraper support?**
It covers 33 markets including the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France, Spain, Japan, Indonesia and more. You pick one market per run from the Country dropdown, and the actor returns that market's top ads.
**How many ads can I collect in one run?**
The Top Ads board for a market and time window typically holds dozens to a few hundred ads. Set Max Items to control how many you collect; the actor paginates automatically until it reaches your limit or runs out of ads.
**Can I sort or filter the ads?**
Yes. You can choose the time window (last 7, 30 or 180 days), sort by click-through rate or by likes, and optionally narrow to a single industry using its Creative Center industry code.
**Why is the brand name sometimes empty?**
TikTok does not always expose the advertiser identity for an ad in Creative Center. When the brand is hidden the brandName field is null, while all engagement metrics, the video URL and the landing page are still captured.
**What is the difference between running with and without details?**
With details on, the actor opens each ad to add comments, shares, landing page, traffic source, countries and the objective breakdown. With details off it returns only the listing-level fields, which is faster when you just need brand, metrics and the video.
