# Google Ads Transparency API

**Use case:** 

Google has no public API for the Ads Transparency Center. This task is the replacement: send an advertiser ID (AR followed by digits, from the advertiser page URL) and get structured JSON for every ad with format, first and last shown dates, regions, previews and advertiser identity. Call it from code, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent. $0.50 per 1,000 ads, no start fee, details included.

## Input

```json
{
  "advertisers": [
    "Nike"
  ],
  "advertiserIds": [
    "AR16735076323512287233"
  ],
  "region": "US",
  "maxAds": 100,
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "includeMedia": false,
  "maxPreviews": 3,
  "maxAdvertisers": 1,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "advertiserName": {
    "label": "Advertiser",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "format": {
    "label": "Format",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "firstShown": {
    "label": "First shown",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "lastShown": {
    "label": "Last shown",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "advertiserCountry": {
    "label": "Based in",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "videoId": {
    "label": "YouTube video",
    "format": "string"

  "url": {
    "label": "Ad page",

## 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.
