Extract structured ad data from TikTok Ads Library and TikTok Creative Center in one run. Search by keyword, brand name, or advertiser — and get direct video CDN URLs, CTR rankings, cover images, advertiser names, and ad duration data. No TikTok account, no login, no API key required.

⚡ Two sources in one actor — unlike other TikTok scrapers on Apify that only hit one source, this actor combines the Ad Library (library.tiktok.com) and the Creative Center (ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter) in a single run, giving you both verified advertiser data AND performance metrics.

What you can do with this scraper

• Competitor research — see every ad your competitors are running on TikTok right now
• Creative intelligence — build a swipe file of winning video ad creatives
• Dropshipping & ecommerce — find products being heavily advertised with real video assets
• Agency reporting — pull competitor TikTok ad data for client pitch decks in minutes
• Market research — track ad trends by brand, keyword, or region
• Performance analysis — use ad_active_days and ctr_ranking to identify winning creatives

Understanding the two sources

Use Ad Library when you need verified advertiser names, ad dates, and campaign duration. Use Creative Center when you need actual video files, performance metrics, and CTR data. Use Both for the most complete picture (recommended).

Who uses this

• Digital marketers tracking competitor TikTok campaigns
• Dropshippers finding winning video ad creatives before investing in inventory
• Marketing agencies building TikTok ad strategies for clients
• E-commerce brands analysing competitor creatives before launching campaigns
• Performance marketers using ctr_ranking and ad_active_days to identify what's working
• Content creators studying what ad formats and hooks perform best in their niche

Pricing

This actor uses Pay-Per-Result pricing — you only pay for ads actually scraped.

$3.50 per 1,000 ads

Tips for best results

• An ad_active_days value over 90 days is your strongest signal — ads running that long are almost always profitable
• A ctr_ranking above 0.75 means the ad is in the top 25% of all TikTok ads for CTR — gold for creative research
• Use residential proxies for maximum coverage — TikTok rate-limits heavily without them
• Run with source: "ad_library" when you need real brand names; run with source: "creative_center" when you need video files
• Set maxResults: -1 carefully — popular brands like Nike can return thousands of ads

Known limitations

• Ad Library video URLs — TikTok does not expose video files on the Ad Library; only cover images are available. Video URLs come from Creative Center only.
• landing_page_url — currently returns TikTok's own ad detail page link. Real advertiser destination URLs require an extra per-ad fetch and will be added in v1.1.
• advertiser_id — not publicly exposed by TikTok in the current library UI.
• Ad text / CTA — TikTok does not expose ad copy text in the public library for most ad formats. This will be added in v1.2 where available.
• Spend and impressions data — only available for EU-targeted ads under TikTok's transparency requirements.
• CDN URLs expire — video and image CDN links are temporary. Download media promptly after scraping.
