LinkedIn Ad Details Scraper

LinkedIn Ad Details Scraper opens each ad's page in the public LinkedIn Ad Library and returns what the search list does not show: total impressions range, impressions by country, run dates, who paid ("Paid for by"), targeted languages and locations, excluded locations, which targeting criteria the advertiser used (company, job, audience, demographic…), the call-to-action button and the landing page with its UTM parameters — together with the full ad copy and creative. Give it ad URLs or IDs, competitors' company pages, or a search. No LinkedIn login. $3.2 per 1,000 ads with details, no start fee.

What is LinkedIn Ad Details Scraper?

The LinkedIn ad impressions and targeting tool. LinkedIn publishes reach and targeting data for ads it reports under the EU Digital Services Act, but only one ad at a time, behind the "About the ad" page. This Actor collects those pages into one table, so you can sort competitors' ads by impressions, see which countries they reach, and which audiences they target — and use it as an unofficial LinkedIn ad targeting API.

Every row is one ad with every detail field, so the dataset is ready for a spreadsheet, a BI dashboard or an LLM without joins.

What data does it extract?

Which ads have impressions and targeting? Those LinkedIn reports under the EU Digital Services Act — ads that reached people in the EU. In our tests 150 of 150 ads found with a German country filter had an impressions range and 143 had targeting; 10 of 10 HubSpot ads shown in Germany had impressions by country. For ads shown only outside the EU, LinkedIn's page has no impressions or targeting and those fields stay empty. Impressions by country appear up to 48 hours after an ad starts — the freshest ads show the total range but no country split yet. Nothing is estimated.

💰 How much does it cost?

Event	Free plan	Starter (Bronze)	Scale (Silver)	Business, Platinum, Diamond
Ad with details — one ad with impressions, countries, targeting, landing page and full creative	$0.0032 ($3.2 / 1K)	$0.00288 ($2.88 / 1K)	$0.00256 ($2.56 / 1K)	$0.00224 ($2.24 / 1K)
Ads whose page could not be read, searches with no ads, error rows, start of a run	free	free	free	free

On the Apify Free plan the monthly $5 credit buys about 1,562 ads with details. The most-used LinkedIn ads actor in Apify Store charges $4 per 1,000 ads with details on the Free plan (3 October 2026) — this Actor is 20% below. Max cost per run is respected to the cent: ad pages the budget cannot pay for are not even opened.

How to get LinkedIn ad impressions and targeting

1. Press Try for free (an Apify account is free).
2. Paste Ad URLs or IDs (https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/1560106944), or competitors' company pages (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hubspot/), or search terms.
3. For companies and searches, set Countries — an EU country such as DE or FR returns ads with every field filled — and Ads per search.
4. Press Start. The default run (10 HubSpot ads shown in Germany) takes about 20 seconds.
5. Open the Impressions & targeting tab, or download Excel, CSV or JSON.

An ad whose page LinkedIn does not load (removed ad, wrong ID) comes back as a free row with type: "error"; it is never billed.

🔁 Get only new LinkedIn ads — schedule it

A one-off export is useful once; a feed of new ads is useful every day. Fill Only new ads — memory name (for example competitors-weekly) and the Actor remembers every ad it delivered under that name. Every later run with the same name writes — and charges — only ads you have not received before. Ads delivered earlier are skipped before their page is even opened, so details are not paid twice either.

1. Run once with the memory name to load the current ads.
2. Open the run → Actions → Schedule (or Schedules) and pick daily or weekly.
3. Read the new ads from each run's dataset, or connect a webhook, Slack, n8n, Make or Zapier.

Each memory name is separate: one per competitor list or market. To start over, use a new name.

Use cases

Reach benchmarking

Sort a competitor's ads by impressionsMin to see which creatives got the most reach, and by runDays to see which ones they keep running.

Market footprint

impressionsByCountry shows where the budget actually lands — useful before entering a European market.

Targeting playbooks

targetedParameters, targetingLocations and targetingLanguages reveal whether competitors target job titles, company lists or audiences, and where.

Funnel and campaign analysis

landingUrl and utmParameters show landing pages, campaign names and LinkedIn campaign IDs (hsa_cam).

Integrations

for ad in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(ad.get("advertiserName"), ad.get("format"), ad.get("impressions"))

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

MCP server for AI agents

Connect https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=blueskyscraper/linkedin-ad-details-scraper to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, then ask in plain words — for example "Which of HubSpot's LinkedIn ads in Germany got the most impressions, and how are they targeted?" The input fields are written so an agent can call the Actor correctly without reading this page.

🤖 For AI agents

Actor blueskyscraper/linkedin-ad-details-scraper. Purpose: LinkedIn ad details — impressions, impressions by country, run dates, payer, targeting, CTA, landing page — one row per ad. Minimal input: {"adUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/1560106944"]} or {"companies": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/hubspot/"], "countries": ["DE"]}. Empty impressions/targeting mean LinkedIn does not publish them for that ad (not EU-reached), not zero. Billed per row as ad-with-details; error rows are free.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape the LinkedIn Ad Library?

The Ad Library is a public transparency tool that LinkedIn publishes for anyone to search without logging in, and this Actor reads only those public pages. It does not log in or touch private profiles. Ads can contain names of people (Thought Leader ads, message senders); if you store or process them, the GDPR and similar laws apply to you. Check LinkedIn's terms and consult a lawyer for your specific use.

Does it need a LinkedIn account or cookies?

No. Nothing is logged in, so there is no account to get restricted, and no browser either — runs finish in seconds.

Can I use LinkedIn Ad Details Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. Every run can be started and read over the REST API or the Python and JavaScript clients above, so it works as an unofficial LinkedIn Ads API for ad intelligence.

Can I use it through an MCP server?

Yes, through the Apify MCP server — see Integrations.

Can I integrate it with other apps?

Yes: n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks, and anything that can call an HTTP API.

Why are impressions or targeting empty for some ads?

LinkedIn publishes run dates, impressions and targeting only for ads it reports under the EU Digital Services Act — ads that reached people in the EU. For ads shown only outside the EU those fields stay empty. Impressions by country appear once LinkedIn publishes them, which can take up to 48 hours after an ad starts; very fresh ads show the total impressions range but no country split yet. The Actor never estimates numbers LinkedIn does not show.

What happens when a search finds nothing?

You get one free row with type: "error" saying so, with a hint (remove the country filter, widen the dates). A search with no ads is a valid answer, not a failure, and nothing is charged.

Is it one row per ad?

Yes. The same ad found by two searches or two companies in one run appears once.

Can I get impressions for US-only ads?

No — LinkedIn does not publish impressions or targeting for ads that never reached the EU, and the Actor does not guess them. You still get the advertiser, payer, creative, CTA and landing page for those ads.

What do "Company" and "Job" in targetedParameters mean?

They are LinkedIn's targeting categories: the advertiser chose people by company (name, industry, size) and by job (title, function, seniority). LinkedIn does not publish the exact values, only which categories were used.
