TikTok Top Ads Scraper API

The Piloterr TikTok Top Ads Scraper API lets you extract public data from TikTok Top Ads as clean, structured JSON — no proxies, headless browsers or HTML parsing to maintain. Endpoints available in production:

TikTok Top Ads Ad API — Get one TikTok Creative Center Top Ad by URL or id: creative, landing page, CTR, and engagement (1 credit).
TikTok Top Ads Search API — Search TikTok Creative Center Top Ads by region, objective, period, and keyword.

Use it for brand monitoring, social listening, influencer research, ad intelligence or content analytics on public data.

Endpoint	Path	Credits	What you get
TikTok Top Ads Ad API	`/v2/tiktoktopads/ad`	1	Get one TikTok Creative Center Top Ad by URL or id
TikTok Top Ads Search API	`/v2/tiktoktopads/search`	1	Search TikTok Creative Center Top Ads by region, objective, period, and keyword. Returns ad cards and pagination (1 credit).

How it works

Create a free Piloterr account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
Send a GET (or POST) request to https://api.piloterr.com/v2/... with the header x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY.
Receive structured JSON — Piloterr handles rendering, proxies, retries and parsing.

export PILOTERR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
pip install requests        # Python
# TypeScript: Node.js 18+ (native fetch), run with `npx tsx file.ts`

Every endpoint accepts both GET (query string) and POST (JSON body with the same fields).

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape TikTok Top Ads?

Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed in many jurisdictions, but rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Avoid personal data unless you have a lawful basis, respect the website's terms where they apply, and get legal advice for your specific use case. This is not legal advice.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. Piloterr handles rendering, proxy rotation and retries on its side. You only send an HTTPS request with your x-api-key header and receive JSON.

How much does a request cost?

Credits per call: /v2/tiktoktopads/ad 1, /v2/tiktoktopads/search 1. See the Piloterr website for plans.

What data does the TikTok Top Ads API return?

Each endpoint returns structured JSON: TikTok Top Ads Ad — ctr, url, cost, ad_id, format, source; TikTok Top Ads Search — results[], results[].ctr, results[].url, results[].cost, results[].ad_id, results[].format.

How do I paginate TikTok Top Ads results?

Use the page parameter and keep requesting while the response indicates more results.

Can I target a specific country or language?

Yes, use region — see the parameter tables above for accepted values.

Which languages are supported?

Any language that can make an HTTP request. This README shows Python and TypeScript; the examples/ folder contains cURL, PHP, C#, Go, Java, Ruby and Node.js.
