Download and search Snapchat's Political & Advocacy Ads Library — the full public archive of every political and advocacy ad run on Snapchat, by year. Get structured data on who paid, how much they spent, how many impressions the ad received, when it ran, the creative, and exactly who it was targeted to.
Snap publishes this data as one downloadable archive per year. This Actor fetches the years you ask for, parses them, applies your filters, and returns clean, ready-to-use records — one row per ad.
What you get per ad
- Advertiser — paying advertiser, organization name, committee, billing address
- Spend & reach — amount spent, currency, impressions
- Run dates — start and end date
- Creative — direct URL to the ad's media (image/video) and creative properties
- Ballot info — candidate / ballot information where provided
- Targeting — country, regions, electoral districts, metros, postal codes, age bracket, gender, interests, segments, language, OS, connection type, carrier, radius targeting
raw— the complete original CSV row, so nothing is ever lost
Input
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Years | Which yearly archives to pull (2018–current). Add one 4-digit year per entry. Years Snap hasn't published yet are skipped automatically. |
| Country filter | Keep only ads targeted to a country. Accepts a name (United States) or a 2-letter code (US, GB) — codes are mapped automatically. |
| Advertiser filter | Keep only ads whose paying advertiser or organization contains this text. |
| Keyword filter | Free-text search across advertiser, organization, ballot info, address, creative URL, interests, segments and targeting keywords. |
| Max ads | Cap the number of matching ads returned across all selected years. |
All filters are optional and combined with AND. Leave them empty to export an entire year.
Example uses
- Monitor a candidate, PAC, or advocacy group's Snapchat spend over time
- Pull every political ad in a country for a given election year
- Build a competitive/again-issue intelligence dataset for researchers, journalists or campaigns
- Feed the archive into your own dashboard, database, or analysis via the Apify API
Notes
- The source is Snap's official, public Political Ads Library. Only political and advocacy ads are covered — Snap does not publish a library for commercial ads.
- Country and other targeting values follow Snap's own formatting (e.g. country names rather than ISO codes); the country filter handles both for you.
- No login and no browser required — the Actor reads Snap's published archives directly, so it's fast and reliable.
