You can use both together to find ads from a specific advertiser that contain certain keywords, or use them separately for broader or more targeted searches.
  • Manual Configuration: Use when you want fine control over search parameters or need to search programmatically with dynamic inputs
  • Paste URL: Use when you’ve already found the ads you want in the TikTok Ads Library and want to extract the same results
The audience reach metrics show how many unique users have seen the ads. This data helps you understand:
  • The scale and reach of competitor campaigns
  • Which ads are getting the most exposure
  • Performance comparison between different advertisers
  • Trends in ad visibility and engagement
You can sort by reach (high to low or low to high) to analyze the most or least exposed ads.

  • Public information only (no private targeting details)
The availability and detail of data may vary by region and advertiser type.
Use quotes around your search keyword to find ads containing the exact phrase. For example:

An ad might be published months ago but still showing recently, or it might have been published recently but is no longer active. These dates help you understand both the ad’s lifecycle and current status.
