# Check Which German Companies Are Running Google Ads

**Use case:** 

Check a list of German company domains against the Google Ads Transparency Center to see which have run Google Ads, with the region set to Germany. The sample mixes 25 retailers and consumer brands with 23 manufacturers and industrial suppliers. For DACH lead generation, pass the domains you want to target to an Impressum scraper to collect each company's contact details.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Ads Transparency Scraper](https://apify.com/alkausari_mujahid/google-ads-transparency-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## 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/alkausari_mujahid/google-ads-transparency-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`).
