## FAQ

### Which file formats can I download?

Results of the Transparency Center export task can be downloaded as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or read through the Apify API.

### How many ads can I export per advertiser?

The Transparency Center export task reads the most recently shown ads first, up to Max ads per advertiser (500 here, up to 10,000). Raise it to pull an advertiser's full history.

### How much does this task cost to run?

The Transparency Center export task is billed per ad returned: 0.0015 USD per ad, or 1.50 USD per 1,000 ads. A scheduled run that finds no new ads costs nothing for ads.

### Can I run it on a schedule or through the API?

Yes. Save the Transparency Center export task to your account, add a daily or weekly schedule in Apify Console, or start it from the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n with the same input.

## 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/babymum7/google-ads-monitor.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`).
