Ads info missing

Closed

innocuous_quidnunc opened this issue

Hi,

I noticed that some brand data seems incomplete. Could you please check why certain fields are missing from the dataset?

For example, the following fields are not present:

1•	display_format
2•	images
3•	title
4•	and others

Here’s the dataset link for reference: [ Dataset URL ] https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/sDMnPPDnThH4gGmOh/items?clean=true&format=json

Thanks for your help!

Let me know if you need further adjustments!

Hi, Thanks for opening the issue and helping me to make this actor better. The issue was due to changes in the facebook ad library website. Made updates to be compatible with new changes

innocuous_quidnunc

The format and key are now available, but the data is still empty. This might be due to age restrictions for users who are not logged in. Please check the attached screenshot to see what is displayed for users without a login. Library URL: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=active&ad_type=all&country=ALL&media_type=all&search_type=page&view_all_page_id=246043868861319

Is it possible to fetch data without login?

innocuous_quidnunc

Response fields are empty:

innocuous_quidnunc

So, We can't get data without login from scrapper?

innocuous_quidnunc

Hi Coder, am waiting for replay.

Curious Coder (curious_coder)

Yes, if the data is not available in the ad library without login, you can't get it with this scraper

knowing_flat

Can we please display an error before the run completes for such pages where it requires me to log in before we can see the ads? As it is now, the scraper runs through the entire library even if it in fact can not scrape the ads and charges me.

We have another serious issue.

Run ID for login data nuhHrDbddc4I7MSZY Run ID: H7hVfW9zn1C6jOYfs for timeout issue Fb data is : 320 but data fetch 12780

This run cost us freaking 9 USD. Whole 9 USD. The page in this query has merely 250 ads. How did this run cost me 9 dollars? Can you please investigate and refund if this is a mistake on your side?

Thanks

Curious Coder (curious_coder)

Hi, The non-stop scraping was due to a bug, please contact apify to get a refund because i don't have the ability to provide that.

Curious Coder (curious_coder)

I've fixed the bug now.

Curious Coder (curious_coder)

I'm figuring out how to skip scraping ads that require logging in to view. Will update once done

Curious Coder (curious_coder)

Can you share a run where it didn't scrape sensive content that require login ?
