Fast Facebook Ads Scraper - Meta Ad Library & Creatives

Extract active competitor ads from the Meta / Facebook Ad Library: ad copy, headlines, creative media URLs, target platforms, and active run dates on 256MB RAM.

Unlike conventional scrapers running heavy headless browsers (Puppeteer/Playwright eating 1–2 GB of RAM that frequently crash and time out), Fast Facebook Ads Scraper runs on ultra-lightweight 256 MB RAM micro-containers using direct HTTP/2 requests with TLS session emulation — running 10x faster at 90% lower compute cost.
