TikTok Creative Center API

TikTok Creative Center API

Extract structured public TikTok Creative Center Top Ads data for competitive research, creative analysis, ad intelligence, and downstream analytics. The Actor opens the public Creative Center in a browser session, observes the Top Ads data request, normalizes the result, and emits stable Dataset rows.

This Actor is not affiliated with TikTok or ByteDance. It uses the public Creative Center surface and does not require you to provide a TikTok login, cookies, or a residential proxy.

What you get

Each result can include the ad ID, title, brand name when the source exposes it, industry key, objective key, likes, CTR score, cost score, public video URL, cover URL, duration, and source metadata. Output is available as the default Apify Dataset and can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel-compatible formats, or consumed through the Dataset API.

The Actor does not claim complete historical TikTok advertising coverage. It reflects the records currently exposed by the public logged-out Creative Center Top Ads surface for the requested country and lookback period. Source availability and result counts can change over time.

Input

Use country for the market, periodDays for the Creative Center lookback period, and maxResults to cap output. Supported production periods are 7, 30, and 180 days. A typical request uses US, 30 days, and 15–20 results.

Pricing

The primary Pay-per-event event is ad-result. One event corresponds to one result row successfully emitted to the Dataset. Failed navigation, internal request discovery, replay attempts, and rows that are not emitted are not ad-result events. The synthetic Actor-start event is managed by Apify.

Reliability and implementation

The production candidate was validated across three fresh browser sessions with identical ad-ID sets and successful isolated request replay. No residential proxy or user-supplied login was required in the validated configuration. The browser remains part of the bootstrap/discovery path because public Creative Center request context can change.

Responsible use

Use the data for lawful research, competitive analysis, monitoring, and internal workflows. Respect applicable laws, platform terms, privacy requirements, intellectual-property rights, and rate limits. Do not use the Actor to impersonate users, bypass account controls, or make decisions about individuals based on sensitive attributes.

Output and API integration

The output schema links directly to the default Dataset plus SUMMARY and REPORT records. This makes the Actor suitable for Apify API, MCP, agentic, webhook, and data-pipeline integrations. For incremental workflows, store stable adId values in your own system and compare them between runs.

Known limitations

Public Creative Center availability may vary by market and time. Some fields are source-optional, and the logged-out public surface can expose fewer ads than the interactive website shows to authenticated users. The Actor reports source-observed values rather than estimating missing values.
