Meta Ad Library Scraper

Scrape Facebook and Instagram Ad Library for competitor ad research. Extract ad creatives, spend estimates, and targeting data.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) -- you provide your own API credentials.

Before You Start

This actor requires your own API credentials to fetch real data.

Where to get your key: Your Firecrawl API key from firecrawl.dev

You can test with Demo Mode first (free, no key needed) to see the output format before committing.

Quick Start

Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)

{
  "demoMode": true,
  "searchQuery": "fitness"
}

Run with real data

{
  "demoMode": false,
  "searchQuery": "fitness",
  "country": "US",
  "platform": "ALL",
  "adType": "ALL",
  "mediaType": "ALL",
  "activeStatus": "ACTIVE",
  "maxAds": 50,
  "includeCreatives": true,
  "includeEngagement": false,
  "useFirecrawl": false,
  "firecrawlApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
  "useCamoufox": false,
  "enableSentimentAnalysis": false,
  "aiProvider": "none",
  "aiApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Required	Description

`pageName`	string	-	No	Search for ads from a specific Facebook/Instagram page (e.g., 'Nike', 'Adidas')

`platform`	string	`"ALL"`	No	Filter by platform where ads run
`adType`	string	`"ALL"`	No	Type of ads to search for (special categories)

`maxAds`	integer	`50`	No	Maximum number of ads to scrape
`includeCreatives`	boolean	`true`	No	Download ad images and video URLs
`includeEngagement`	boolean	`false`	No	Include detailed engagement metrics (impressions, reach, spend estimates)
`demoMode`	boolean	`true`	No	Generate sample data for testing (no scraping, no charges). Set to FALSE for real scraping.
`useFirecrawl`	boolean	`false`	No	Use Firecrawl API for enhanced scraping (requires API key)
`firecrawlApiKey`	string	-	Yes*	Your Firecrawl API key from firecrawl.dev
`useCamoufox`	boolean	`false`	No	Use Camoufox browser for anti-detection (helps avoid blocks)
`proxyConfiguration`	object	-	No	Proxy settings for scraping
`webhookUrl`	string	-	No	URL to POST results when scraping completes (Zapier, Make, n8n)

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event billing:

Event	Description	Price
Ad Scraped	Per ad scraped from Meta Ad Library	$0.04

Demo mode is free -- no charges for sample data.

Troubleshooting

"API key is required"

You have Demo Mode turned off but didn't provide an API key. Either:

Turn Demo Mode on to test with sample data
Add your API key in the input

"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"

Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

Invalid input format (check the examples above)
API key without proper permissions
The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
