The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for intercepting implanted information in an application. The method comprises: determining an Application Programming interface API invoked by an implanted information code as a key API in accordance with information collected in advance, wherein the key API is the API provided by an implanted information provider; after starting a target application, monitoring an act of the target application invoking the key API by hooking the key API; and if the target application initiates a request to invoke the key API, determining that the implanted information code is contained in the target application and intercepting the request to invoke the key API so as to stop the implanted information code from running and to realize the interception of the implanted information in the target application.
