What TikTok Ad Library data can you get?
Ads shown in Europe from TikTok's public ad library, looked up by link or ID or searched by keyword or advertiser. Each ad has its advertiser and who paid, text, media, landing page, days shown, reach, targeting and takedowns. Creative Center's Top Ads board adds the best-performing ads by market, the US included. Part of the TikTok API.
Ads
Why not the official TikTok Ad Library API?
TikTok's Commercial Content API takes an approved application and only covers ads from European countries.
No approval to wait for
One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.
Anything public
Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.
No daily quota
You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.
Call the TikTok Ad Library API from your code.
Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

Ads
Can I search ads shown in the US?
No. TikTok's ad library holds only ads shown in Europe. For the US and other markets, the TikTok Top Ads API returns Creative Center's best-performing ads by country.
What do I send?
A link as people share it (mobile, short or with tracking), a handle, an ID, or words to search. Each endpoint accepts every common form of its input.
Is the data live?
Yes. Every request reads the platform when you send it, unless you allow a cached answer.
What does null mean in a response?
Unknown. A field the platform doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
Are the fields the same on every platform?
Yes. 27 kinds of data have one schema each. Fields only one platform has sit under platform_specific.
What happens when a platform changes its pages?
We update our parsers. Your fields stay the same, and every endpoint's live status is public.
Do you read private or logged-in content?
No. Only public data that anyone can see without an account: no logins, no private profiles, no paywalled content.
Can my AI agent use it?
Yes. Add the MCP server and sign in with your browser, and your agent can call every endpoint. Or paste our prompt into your coding agent. The docs are also published as Markdown and llms.txt.
Try it on a TikTok Ad Library link you have.
Get a key and send your first request in a minute. The same key works on every platform.
