Step-by-step: Ad library aggregation

GET
/v1/tiktok/adlibrary/search

Returns TikTok Ad Library ads matching a keyword or advertiser name, each with creative, title, advertiser, impressions and date; include=ad adds the brand, landing page and advertiser link.

Use it to find ads by query or advertiser_name; pass an ad id from the results to adlibrary/ad for the full record.

Metered: 50–170 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

Query Parameters

query?string

Keyword or phrase to search the TikTok Ad Library. Provide at least one of: query, advertiser_name.

advertiser_name?string

Advertiser name as it appears in the TikTok Ad Library. Provide at least one of: query, advertiser_name.

cursor?string

Cursor from the previous response to fetch the next page.

include?"ad"

Set to ad (one token only) to fill the registered brand name, the landing page, the advertiser's TikTok profile link and avatar (post.ext.ad.brand_name, post.ext.ad.landing_page, post.ext.ad.profile_web_link, post.author.avatar_url), plus the objectives, countries and source where the library has them, on every ad in this one call.

Value in

  • "ad"
limit?integer

Take the top N ads of the page (1 to 12) after the search has run. It is not a page size: next_cursor still advances past the full page.

Range1 <= value <= 12
since?string

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.

until?string

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
