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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Ads Scraper Scrape TikTok Creative Center ad details from ad URLs with a lightweight Apify Actor powered by Scrappa. This actor is built for TikTok ad research workflows: competitor creative monitoring, agency reporting, landing page checks, and collecting public ad metadata from TikTok Creative Center URLs. ### What You Get - Ad ID and request URL - Advertiser, brand, and account fields when returned by TikTok - Creative text, CTA, objective, industry, category, region, country, and language metadata - Landing page or destination URL - Video, cover, and other media URLs - Like, comment, and share counts when available - Cached metadata when Scrappa returns cache information - Raw nested Scrappa fields preserved in each dataset item ### Input Paste one or more TikTok Creative Center ad URLs: ```json { "urls": [ "https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7213160569871581185/pc/en?countryCode=US&period=30" ] } ```` API callers can also use the legacy single URL field: ```json { "url": "https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7213160569871581185/pc/en?countryCode=US&period=30" } ``` The actor pushes one dataset item per input URL. It does not crawl TikTok Creative Center searches or discover new ads; provide the ad detail URLs you want to resolve. ### Output Example dataset item: ```json { "ad_id": "7213160569871581185", "advertiser_name": "Example advertiser", "brand_name": "Example brand", "industry": "E-commerce", "objective": "Conversions", "creative_text": "Example ad text", "landing_page": "https://example.com", "video_url": "https://...", "cover": "https://...", "media_urls": ["https://..."], "like_count": 1200, "comment_count": 42, "share_count": 18, "cached": true, "request_url": "https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7213160569871581185/pc/en", "request_ad_id": "7213160569871581185", "request_index": 1, "result_found": true } ``` If TikTok rejects, expires, or region-locks an ad URL, the actor still writes a dataset row for that input with `result_found: false` and an `error_message`. ### Notes This actor calls Scrappa's `/api/tiktok/ads/details` endpoint. The scraping work runs on Scrappa infrastructure; Apify is used for input validation, orchestration, and dataset output. The Scrappa API docs also show the shorter Creative Center form `https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7221117041168252930/`. TikTok currently serves many live ad detail pages with `/pc/en` appended, and this actor accepts both forms. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): One or more TikTok Creative Center ad URLs. The actor pushes one dataset item for each requested ad URL. ## `url` (type: `string`): Legacy single URL field for API callers. Ignored when TikTok Creative Center Ad URLs is provided. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7213160569871581185/pc/en?countryCode=US&period=30" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "urls": [ "https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7213160569871581185/pc/en?countryCode=US&period=30" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("thescrappa/tiktok-ads-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
