Searches TikTok's public Ads Library using either query for a general search or advertiser_name for advertiser-specific results. Advertiser-name searches resolve the name through TikTok's advertiser typeahead first, then search the selected advertiser entity. If TikTok has no matching entity, the API falls back to TikTok's name search so inputs such as The Creator Loop still return matching ads. Provide exactly one of query or advertiser_name. Results are global, sorted by the latest shown date, support cursor pagination, and include a public TikTok Ads Library URL for each ad. Send one of: query, advertiser_name.

- **Tool id:** `scrapecreators-tiktok-ad-library-search`
- **Provider:** [ScrapeCreators](/providers/scrapecreators)
- **Job:** [Search tiktok ad library](/reference/jobs/tiktok-ad-library-search) (`tiktok.ad-library.search`)
- **Price:** $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `advertiser_name` | string | no |   |
| `cursor` | string | no |   |
| `query` | string | no | Example: "The Creator Loop" |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect scrapecreators-tiktok-ad-library-search` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \

  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-tiktok-ad-library-search","input":{"query":"The Creator Loop","cursor":"<cursor>","advertiser_name":"<advertiser_name>"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript

    },
    wait: 30,

});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```
