## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Youtube Ads Scraper](https://apify.com/crawlerbros/youtube-ads-scraper) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/crawlerbros/youtube-ads-scraper) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.
