Issue with Extracting Ads for Adapta using Facebook Ads Scraper API
Closed
Hi Support Team,
I am encountering an issue with the Facebook Ads Scraper API from APIFY. I am trying to extract ads for the brand Adapta during this period: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_type=all&country=BR&view_all_page_id=104584352010554&start_date[min]=2024-06-06&start_date[max]=&search_type=page&media_type=all
Despite the presence of numerous ads, the API is not returning any results. The JSON response I am receiving is as follows:
[ { "isResultComplete": false, "results": [], "pageResults": [], "forwardCursor": "AQHR1IlTQ645IR4j325aQJ7-W7osK7rDBGDSv_Ajngs3_PgW4I14NwJip6_iNqhvi7if", "backwardCursor": "", "totalCount": 191, "collationToken": "db3e7630-498a-4f39-b4eb-3101123844f1", "pageInfo": { "page": null, "ad_library_page_info": { "page_info": { "page_name": "Adapta", "is_profile_page": false, "page_is_deleted": false, "page_is_restricted": true, "related_pages": [], "has_blank_ads": false, "hidden_ads": 0, "page_profile_uri": "https://facebook.com/adapta.org", "page_id": "104584352010554", "page_verification": "NOT_VERIFIED", "entity_type": "PERSON_PROFILE", "page_alias": "adapta.org", "likes": 2037, "page_category": "Education", "ig_verification": false, "ig_username": "adapta_org", "ig_followers": 125...

Hello everyone, any predictions to resolve this question?
Hi!
Thanks for your feedback, sorry for delay with answering, its first issue of such kind - actually bug in Facebook Ads itself:
In incognito browser (means not logged as Facebook user) counter is 240, but no actual ads data ("No ads match your search criteria")
In regular browser both counter and ad results available, means it works if viewed as user logged in to Facebook
Actor can not use Facebook logins of any kind because of legal reasons, so solution is to search ads just by page: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_type=all&country=ALL&view_all_page_id=104584352010554&search_type=page&media_type=all and both counter (270) and ads visible in incognito browser
Screens attached
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
Follow up: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_type=all&country=ALL&view_all_page_id=104584352010554&search_type=page&media_type=all works in browser but not in actor, something really specific about targeted page, got only 12 actual ads from couple dozens of internal Fb Ad API calls without results. For right now please consider it as unsupported page format.
