## FAQ

### What does the Nike Facebook ads task return?

The Nike Facebook ads task returns one row per active ad in the US: ad ID, page name, ad text, image and video URLs, carousel cards, landing page link, call to action, start date, days running and the platforms the ad runs on.

### Can I track another brand's Facebook ads?

Yes. Replace Nike in the Advertisers field with any brand name or Facebook page URL, and change the country. The Actor finds the page in the Meta Ad Library and lists its ads.

### How much does it cost to export Facebook ads?

The Facebook Ads Library Scraper charges $0.50 per 1,000 ads on the Free plan, down to $0.25 on higher plans, plus $0.001 per run. A run of 200 Nike ads costs about ten cents on the Free plan.

### Can I get only new ads every week?

Set Mode to new-only and schedule the task. Each run then returns, and charges, only the ads it has not returned before, and a webhook can notify your own tool.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/alexmorain/facebook-ads-library-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
