Collect public Instagram ads from Meta Ads Library by keyword, Facebook Page ID, or advertiser URL. Export ad copy, creatives, CTAs, landing links, placements, and optional advertiser details; every result is filtered for the Instagram placement.
What this Actor does
This Actor collects public ad records with Instagram listed among their publisher platforms. It requests Instagram placements and checks returned records before delivery. Each Dataset row contains the original ad snapshot and normalized creative fields, including available texts, media URLs, CTA and landing link. Optional advertiser details enrich selected records.
Use cases
- Research the creative messages used by competitors on Instagram.
- Compare advertising for a keyword across countries.
- Collect image and video references for advertising research.
How to use
Enter a keyword such as ikea, choose the country and result limit, then click Start. Open the Dataset to download the delivered records.
Input
Provide at least one search target: query, pageId or pageUrl. Page inputs identify Facebook advertiser pages associated with the ads. Instagram profile URLs are unsupported. Country defaults to ES; ALL selects available countries. activeStatus defaults to ACTIVE. Dates, media type, ad category and content languages narrow the search. maxAds limits delivered unique records and maxPages limits traversal; reaching the page limit before the result cap or source end produces an incomplete run. includeDetails enables optional enrichment, limited by detailsLimit. The platform is fixed: remove publisherPlatforms from manually supplied input because it is rejected.
Output
One Dataset item represents one unique ad archive ID. The full original publisher_platform array remains intact: the same ad may also run on Facebook or Threads. The record does not represent a platform-specific variant of its creative. collection.publisherPlatforms shows the fixed Instagram collection filter. The Key-value Store run summary describes completion, delivered records and optional enrichment outcomes. This is the complete Dataset item from a real successful run:
Pricing
Pricing is pay per event. Each successfully delivered ad creates an ad event and a creative_details event. A successfully returned optional advertiser-detail payload creates an advertiser_details event. Prices are shown as the exact amount per event and the comparison equivalent for 1,000 events; the actual charge remains per event.

| FREE | Creative details | $0.0001 | $0.10 |

For example, 1,000 delivered ads cost $0.50 on FREE when their creative payloads are delivered. If all 1,000 also receive advertiser details, the event total is $0.90. On GOLD, the same cases are $0.375 and $0.675. Empty searches, duplicate or rejected records, informational total counts, failed requests, and unavailable optional details do not create these events. Check the Pricing tab and set a run spending limit before starting a run.

Limits and data quality
RUN_SUMMARY.executionSucceeded indicates a safe execution outcome; use collectionComplete and enrichmentComplete to check whether all requested work finished. Partial results use the terminal message Stopped.
If the source remains unavailable, the Actor preserves confirmed ads and reports a partial result, including when no ads were saved. Invalid configuration, corrupt recovery data, unavailable required storage, or uncertain delivery or charging can still fail the run to protect your results and charges.
Coverage follows the public source and selected country, status and filters. Source availability can change during a run. An incomplete or failed run can retain already delivered records; consult the final summary before treating the Dataset as a complete collection. Details can fail separately from base collection. Missing source values remain missing. Media links may expire. Counts are source-reported search counts, not a guarantee of Instagram-only unique delivery. Results are deduplicated within the collection and compatible restart storage, not across unrelated fresh runs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I collect Instagram profiles or organic posts?
This Actor collects advertisements. It does not collect profile feeds, comments or messages, and does not accept Instagram profile URLs as advertiser targets.
Why do returned ads list other platforms?
An ad can have several placements. Every delivered row includes Instagram, while all original placements are preserved.
Is every requested ad guaranteed to be returned?
No. Filters, available source results, traversal limits and temporary source restrictions can reduce delivery. The final summary distinguishes complete and incomplete collection.
Responsible use
Use the data lawfully and comply with applicable terms, privacy requirements and regulations. Public availability does not grant unrestricted rights to reuse advertisers' media.
