TikTok Ad Library Scraper

Scrape ads from the TikTok Commercial Content Library at scale. Search by keyword and filter by country and ad type to automatically extract active ads globally. There is no login, no complex setup, and no brittle DOM scraping. Feed the output into your competitive research workflow, ad monitoring dashboard, or automation pipeline.

Who is this for?

• Media buyers and performance marketers doing competitor research. See what video creatives your competitors are running, their estimated audience sizes, and their publication timelines across global and EU transparency regions.
• Marketing agencies automating weekly social intelligence reports. Schedule runs on Apify, export to CSV or JSON, and pipe the data straight into your client dashboards.
• Developers and automation builders (n8n, Make, Zapier) who need TikTok ad video data programmatically. Trigger runs via API, process video URLs recursively in your pipeline, and build alerting systems around competitor ad launches.

How to use it

1. Open TikTok Ad Library Scraper on Apify.
2. Enter your desired Search Keyword (e.g. "Nike" or a competitor's brand).
3. Set your target filters (e.g., Target Country, Ad Type).
4. Set your Max ads to scrape limit and ensure the Proxy is set (Residential is highly recommended for TikTok).
5. Click Start.
6. When the run finishes, click Export to download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Integrations

Connect this scraper to your existing stack:

• n8n: Use the HTTP Request node or the Apify node to build custom workflows.
• Google Sheets: Export results directly from the Apify console.

Pricing

This actor runs on Apify's standard compute usage. Because it utilizes a headless Playwright instance and relies heavily on Residential proxies for optimal access to TikTok's geo-fenced Transparency networks, resource consumption will reflect browser-based extraction costs rather than standard HTTP.

Legal

TikTok's Commercial Content Library is a public transparency tool. This scraper does not extract private user data. It strictly intercepts public intelligence data made openly available by the platform. Please consult local privacy and scraping regulations (such as GDPR) depending on how you utilize the extracted advertiser data.
