Google Ads Transparency Scraper

See every Google ad a competitor is running. This actor reads the public Google Ads Transparency Center and returns one row per ad: Search, Display and YouTube ads, with first and last shown dates, how many days each ad has run, the ad image, the YouTube link, and the countries it ran in.

Search by domain, brand name or advertiser ID. No browser, no login, no Google account.

What people use it for

• Competitor research: what your competitors advertise, in which countries, and which ads they keep running (long-running ads are the ones that work).
• Agency pitches and audits: pull a prospect's full Google ad history in a minute.
• Creative inspiration: collect image and video ads from a whole category.
• Monitoring: schedule a daily run and see new ads as soon as Google shows them.
• Lead lists: find businesses that are actively spending on Google Ads.

Input

Field	What it does
Domains, brands or advertisers	One per line. hubspot.com, Nike, AR16735076323512287233, or a Transparency Center advertiser URL.
Country	Two-letter code (US, GB, DE...) to only get ads shown there. Empty = anywhere.
Ad format	All, Text (Search), Image (Display) or Video (YouTube).
Max ads per search	Newest first. Default 100, up to 10,000.
Advertisers per brand name	Big brands advertise from several accounts (often one per country). Collect from the top N.
Countries and variations	Adds every country the ad ran in with its last-shown date, the number of variations and the paying account. Free.
Video links and ad copy from previews	Adds the YouTube URL of video ads and the visible text of Shopping and rich-media ads. Free, a bit slower.

Brand names are matched to the advertiser account with the most ads, so Nike finds Nike, Inc., not a small shop called "Nikey".

Download as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it through the API. The Run summary record shows what each search matched and how many ads it returned.

Google publishes Search text ads as an image of the ad, so for format: "text" the ad copy is in imageUrl. HTML5 and video ads have a previewUrl instead. domain is filled when Google lists it for the ad (about half of ads).

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 ads ($0.0015 per ad). Proxy and platform usage are included, and the country and preview options cost nothing extra. A search that matches no advertiser costs nothing.

Ads	Cost
100	$0.15
1,000	$1.50
10,000	$15.00

Tips

• Use the domain when you know it. It catches every advertiser account that points to that site.
• Long daysShown with a recent lastShown = an ad the advertiser keeps paying for.
• Set a spending limit on the run to cap cost; the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

FAQ

Is this legal? It reads data Google publishes for public transparency. No login, no private data.

Why does a brand return few ads? It may advertise from another account. Raise Advertisers per brand name or search the domain.

Does it get ad spend or impressions? Google only publishes those for political ads in some regions, so no.
