Apple Ad Repository Scraper

Apple Ad Repository Scraper extracts App Store ads from the Apple Ad Repository into clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Type an app or developer name, paste an App Store link, or browse every ad shown in the EU countries you pick, and get the app, developer, advertiser legal name, placement, ad format, country, impression dates, audience targeting, and creatives of every ad. No account or login required.

Introduction

The Apple Ad Repository is Apple's public library of the ads shown on the App Store in the European Union. It lists every Apple Search Ads campaign delivered in 25 EU countries during the last year, with the app that was promoted, the developer and legal entity behind it, where the ad appeared, and which audience settings were used.

This App Store ad library scraper collects the same public information you see in your browser and turns it into a ready-to-use dataset. Scrape many apps and developers at once, filter by country, date range, and placement, run it once or on a schedule, and connect the results to your own tools.

What data can you extract from the Apple Ad Repository?

• 🔗 Direct link to every ad in the repository, plus the ad ID
• 📱 App name, App Store ID, and App Store link
• 🏢 Developer name, developer ID, developer link, and the legal name of the advertiser
• 📍 Placement (Search Results, Search Tab, Today Tab, Product Page), ad format, and sub-format
• 🌍 Country where the ad was shown
• 📅 First and last impression dates, and the reporting period
• 🎯 Audience targeting used: age, gender, location, and customer type
• 📝 Subtitle, primary category, app description, in-app purchases flag, and editorial badge
• 🖼️ App icon and every screenshot or video of the ad, with size and orientation
• 🌐 Optional: every language version of the ad (localized app name, subtitle, and creatives per device) and all app icon variations

Use Cases

• 🕵️ Competitor monitoring: see which apps your competitors promote on the App Store, in which countries, and since when.
• 🎨 Creative research: collect the screenshots, videos, and icons other apps use in their Apple Search Ads.
• 📈 Market research: compare App Store ad activity across apps, categories, and EU countries.
• 🎯 Targeting insights: learn which advertisers refine their audience by age, gender, location, or customer type.
• 🔍 Compliance and journalism: track who pays for App Store ads and how long campaigns run.
• 🤖 AI and automation: feed clean, structured ad data into spreadsheets, dashboards, or AI workflows.

How to scrape the Apple Ad Repository step by step

1. Type one or more app or developer names into App or developer names, or paste App Store or Ad Repository links into Start URLs.
2. Optionally choose Countries, Date range, and Placements, and turn on Include ad variations if you need every language version.
3. Set Maximum number of results to how many ads you want per name or URL.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab.

Input

• App or developer names: names as you would type them in the Ad Repository search, one per line, for example Spotify or Duolingo. An exact developer name is used first, then an exact app name, then the first suggestion. Each name is scraped separately.
• Start URLs: supported links are App Store app pages (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uber-request-a-ride/id368677368), App Store developer pages (https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/spotify/id324684583), single ads (https://adrepository.apple.com/ad-repository-ads/...), and the Ad Repository home page (https://adrepository.apple.com/), which lists every ad shown in the selected countries.
• Countries: only ads shown in these EU countries. Leave empty for all 25 countries.
• Date range: ads shown in the last 90 days, last 180 days, or last year.
• Placements: only ads in these App Store placements. Leave empty for all placements.
• Include ad variations: also get every language version of each ad and all app icon variations. This needs one extra request per ad, so runs take longer.
• Maximum number of results: how many ads to collect for each name or start URL. Set 0 for no limit.

The filters apply to names and start URLs alike. You can use names, start URLs, or both in the same run.

Input Examples

Search by app or developer name:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Spotify"],
  "maxResults": 5
}

  "maxResults": 5
}

Every Today Tab ad shown in France and Germany during the last year, with all language versions:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://adrepository.apple.com/" }],
  "countries": ["FR", "DE"],
  "dateRange": "LAST_YEAR",
  "placements": ["APPSTORE_TODAY_TAB"],
  "includeAdVariations": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}

Output

Each ad is saved as one item in the dataset. Here is an example of a single item:

Notes

• The Apple Ad Repository covers App Store ads shown in 25 EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
• The repository only offers three periods: the last 90 days, the last 180 days, and the last year. Its data is published with a delay of about a week.
• One ad item is one ad in one country, so the same campaign can appear once per country.
• Browsing the home page without countries goes through all 25 countries, which can return hundreds of thousands of ads. Set Maximum number of results or pick a few countries.
• The placement filter is applied while scraping, so a rare placement can take more pages to fill your limit. The scraper stops after 300 ads in a row without a matching placement.

Why use the Apple Ad Repository Scraper?

• 🔄 Ready for automation: schedule runs, export to Google Sheets, or connect to Make, Zapier, and n8n.
