# Instagram ads library

**Use case:** 

Instagram ads only: search the Meta Ad Library with the platform filter set to Instagram and get every ad shown there, with the advertiser page, caption, images and videos, call to action, landing page and dates. Works for any keyword, brand name or niche; the same Actor also filters Facebook, Messenger and Threads. No login needed. $0.50 per 1,000 ads, no start fee, ad details included.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.
