# Export Google Search Ad Copy and Headlines

**Use case:** 

The words of a brand's Google Search text ads: headline, description, display URL, sitelinks and business name, for every A/B variation. Ads that Google keeps only as a picture are read with OCR inside the run. Build a swipe file of a competitor's search ads in one table.

## FAQ

### How are the words read when Google keeps the ad as a picture?

With Tesseract OCR inside the run, no AI and no outside service. The row says textSource "ocr", and the headline, description and display URL are split by the layout of the ad.

### Do I get every A/B variation?

Yes. Every variation is listed in variations with its own headline, description and picture.

## 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/anuarbakty/google-ads-library-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`).
