LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper + New Ads Monitor

Get every ad a company runs on LinkedIn from the public LinkedIn Ad Library. Search by company name or ID, keyword or payer, filter by country and date, and get each ad's text, headline, images, video, CTA and landing page. For ads shown in the EU you also get run dates, impressions (total and by country) and targeting.

Run it on a schedule with Only new ads turned on, and each run returns only the ads your competitors launched since the last one.

No LinkedIn account, login or cookies needed.

What you can do with it

• Competitor ad research: see every image, video, carousel, document, event, message and text ad a rival runs on LinkedIn.
• B2B ad copy swipe files: export headlines, ad text, CTAs and landing-page URLs (with their UTM parameters) at scale.
• New-ad alerts: schedule a daily or weekly run in monitoring mode and send new ads to Slack, email, Google Sheets or a webhook with Apify integrations.
• Market mapping: search a keyword ("cybersecurity", "payroll software") in one or more countries to see who advertises in a category right now.
• Spend signals: impressions ranges and country splits show which campaigns get the most delivery (EU-shown ads).

Input

Field	What it does
Companies	One per line: a name (HubSpot), a LinkedIn company ID (68529) or a company page URL (linkedin.com/company/68529). An ID returns only that company's ads; a name also matches other advertisers whose name contains it.
Keywords	Ads whose text contains the keyword, from any advertiser.
Payers	The entity in the "Paid for by" line, for example an agency.
Ad Library URLs	Search URLs copied from linkedin.com/ad-library (their filters are kept), or single ad URLs.
Countries	2-letter codes (US, GB, DE…). Empty = all countries.
Date range	Last 30 days, current month, current year, last year, or a custom Shown from / until (LinkedIn allows up to one year back).
Max ads per search	Stop after this many ads for each line.
Include ad details	On by default. Opens each ad's page for the full text, landing page, CTA, video, carousel/document/event/message content, and EU dates, impressions and targeting. Turn off for a cheaper list with the preview only (advertiser, format, truncated text, headline, image).
Only new ads	Skip ads returned by earlier runs with the same monitor name and search.
Proxy	Apify Proxy (datacenter) is on by default; see Tips.

Example:

{
  "companies": ["68529", "Salesforce"],

  "dateRange": "last-30-days",
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 200,

Format-specific fields:

• Video ads: videoUrl (MP4, highest fixed resolution) and videoPosterUrl.
• Carousel ads: carouselCards with each card's title, image and link (when the library shows one).
• Document ads: document with title, total page count and preview page images in imageUrls.
• Event ads: event with name, time, organizer, location and URL.
• Message ads: the message body in adText and messageSender.
• Thought-leader / article ads posted by a person: advertiserType is member.

What LinkedIn shows and what it doesn't

• Run dates, impressions and targeting are only published for ads shown in the EU (a Digital Services Act requirement). For other ads these fields are null or empty. In a test with countries: ["DE", "FR"], 200 of 200 ads had them; for a US-focused advertiser, about a third did.
• Impressions are ranges (10k-20k), not exact numbers; impressionsMin / impressionsMax make them sortable.
• Targeting shows which parameters were used (language, location, and whether audience, company, job, etc. targeting was on), not the exact audience lists.
• Some ads show no landing page in the library (many video ads, for example); destinationUrl is then null.
• Text in search previews is truncated by LinkedIn; turn on Include ad details for full text.

Pricing

You pay per result, with no subscription and no proxy fees:

Event	Price
Ad	$0.80 per 1,000 ads
Ad details (optional, on by default)	$0.60 per 1,000 ads whose detail page was read

So a full run with details costs $1.40 per 1,000 ads. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops when it reaches it.

Tips

• Use the company ID for exact results. It is the number in the company's LinkedIn URL, or in advertiserCompanyId of any result. A name search also returns partners and resellers whose names contain the brand.
• Speed: about 100 ads with details per 100 seconds. Requests are paced to stay polite to LinkedIn.
• Proxy: LinkedIn rejects a share of requests from cloud servers. The Actor retries them, but with Apify Proxy on (the default) almost none are rejected and runs are faster. In tests: 0 of 105 requests rejected with the proxy, about 40% rejected and retried without it.
• Monitoring: results come newest first, so a monitoring run stops after two pages with nothing new.

Is it legal?

The Actor reads only what LinkedIn publishes in its public Ad Library for ad transparency: ads, the advertisers and the entities that paid for them. It does not log in and collects no data about people who saw the ads. Ads posted by individual members (thought-leader ads) include the name LinkedIn shows as the advertiser. You are responsible for how you use the data. If in doubt, ask your lawyer.
