Google Ads Transparency Scraper - Ads by Advertiser or Website

Get every ad an advertiser or a website runs on Google (Search, YouTube, Display, Shopping, Maps, Play), straight from Google's Ads Transparency Center: format, first and last day shown, number of days shown, image, headline, description and other texts, landing site and a link to the ad.

Search by website (nike.com), advertiser name (Nike) or advertiser ID, filter by country, format and dates, and optionally add every variation of each ad and the countries where it ran. You pay per ad delivered.

What you get for each ad

Group	Fields
Ad	Advertiser name and ID, ad ID, format (text, image, video), link to the ad on the Ads Transparency Center
Timing	First shown, last shown, number of days shown
Content	Image URL and size for image ads; texts (headline, description, display URL, product title, business name, call to action) for text and video ads; links found in the ad
Target	The website the ad points to, when Google reports it
Volume	Google's estimate of how many ads match the search (for example 80,000 to 90,000 for nike.com)
Details (optional)	Every variation of the ad with its image, preview and texts; the countries where it ran, with the last day shown there

Use cases

• Competitor research: see every ad a competitor runs, which formats and messages they test, and how long each ad stays live (long-running ads are usually the winners).
• Creative inspiration: collect the headlines, descriptions and images that brands in your market use.
• Agencies and monitoring: schedule a weekly run on your clients' competitors and spot new ads with the "Shown in the last N days" filter.
• Brand protection: find advertisers running ads that point to your website or use your brand name.
• Research and journalism: analyse advertising activity by country and period.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more websites, advertiser names or advertiser IDs, one per line. Links copied from the Ads Transparency Center work too.
2. Optionally pick a region (US, GB, FR...), an ad format, and a period: shown in the last N days, or dates.
3. Set Max ads per search (0 for all) and tick Include details if you need variations and countries.
4. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

A website search returns the ads pointing to that site, from every advertiser. A name search covers every advertiser account whose name contains all the words you typed (big brands often have one account per country); use an advertiser ID for one exact account.

Image ads come with imageUrl, imageWidth and imageHeight. With details, each ad also gets variationCount, variations and regions, for example [{"country": "US", "regionId": 2840, "lastShown": "2026-10-18"}].

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 ads (pay per event). Details (variations, countries and visible texts) cost $2.00 per 1,000 ads more, only when you tick the option. Searches that fail or find no ad come back with an error field and are not charged. Set "Max ads per search" and a maximum cost per run in the run options to keep full control.

Use it from code or from an AI agent

• API: start a run and fetch the dataset with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients.

FAQ

Which ads are included? The ads Google publishes in its Ads Transparency Center: ads shown on Google Search, YouTube, Google Display, Google Shopping, Google Maps and Google Play by verified advertisers, in every country where Google runs ads.

Why do some ads have no text? Image ads carry their content in the image (imageUrl). Some text and video ads only show their content through Google's preview; tick "Include details" to read their visible texts.

How far back does it go? As far as the Ads Transparency Center: often several years for active advertisers. Use the dates or "Shown in the last N days" to narrow it down.

Is this an official Google product? No. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. It reads the public information Google publishes in the Ads Transparency Center and collects no personal data beyond the advertiser names Google itself publishes.
