Questions about the TikTok ad library search

What is the TikTok ad library?

It is TikTok's public archive of ads shown in Europe, kept under the EU's Digital Services Act. It lists the advertiser, the creative, the dates and, for many ads, who they were aimed at.

Why are there no ads for my search?

The library holds ads shown in Europe, so a brand that advertises only in the US may not be in it. Try a broader word, or the brand as it names its TikTok account.

Is the TikTok Creative Center the same thing?

No. The Creative Center shows top ads and trends TikTok picks to inspire advertisers. The ad library is the full public record for transparency, which is what this searches.

Is the TikTok ad library search free?

Yes. You get 10 searches a day here, with no signup. For more, connect Manifold to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor: the free plan gives your agent 250 credits every month, with no card.
