Feature Request — Add excludeDisplayFormat or mediaTypeFilter to input JSON for Facebook Ads Library Scraper
Closed
Currently, many of the ads returned are of the type "displayFormat": "DCO", which results in unusable or empty creative content (missing captions, images, or videos). Since these ads cannot be properly analyzed or used downstream, we need to filter them out manually after scraping.
I would like to suggest a new optional field in the input JSON, such as:
"excludeDisplayFormat": ["DCO"] or
"mediaTypeFilter": "video"
This would allow the actor to ignore DCO-format ads at the dataset generation level, returning only relevant ads with rich media and interpretable copy.
Hi!
From your run, the sample DCO ad is https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?id=1197596962162067
In the dataset https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/WtWH1fIPmtenbfzoR/items?clean=true&format=json all details are scraped as displayed in the library, including caption and full-sized image
So no reason to exclude it. Scraping is correct, please filter out the dataset using third-party tools or integration.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
