FAQ

Is this legal? The Transparency Center is a public database Google publishes so anyone can see who advertises. This Actor reads the same public data.

Why does a headline look like {KeyWord:Nike Trainers}? That is Google's dynamic keyword insertion - the advertiser's template; Google replaces it with the user's search term.

Why are impressions empty for some countries? Google publishes impression ranges only where regulation requires it (EU/EEA under the Digital Services Act).

Can I get all ads of a big brand? Yes - set maxAdsPerInput up to 10,000. Google shows an estimated total count; big brands can have hundreds of thousands of ads, so filter by country or date.
