Google Ads Transparency Scraper — Competitor Ad Library

See every ad a competitor runs on Google — Search, YouTube, Display, Shopping and more — straight from Google's official Ads Transparency Center. Search by advertiser name, advertiser ID or website domain, filter by country and format, and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.

Why use this Google Ads scraper?

• Search the way you think. Type nike.com, Nike, Inc. or an advertiser ID — mix them in one run.
• Domain search finds every advertiser promoting a website, including resellers and agencies.
• Country, format and date filters. Only US ads, only video ads, only ads shown in the last 7 days — or everything, worldwide.
• Optional deep details. Every variation of an ad plus the countries where it ran, with last-shown dates.
• Fast. In our tests: 312 ads from 4 searches in about 30 seconds.
• Built for reliability. Automatic retries with fresh IPs when Google rate-limits.
• Pay only for ads you get. No subscription, no charge for empty searches.

FAQ

Does this show ad spend or impressions? No — Google's Ads Transparency Center doesn't publish spend for commercial ads, so no tool can get it from there.

Searching a big brand by name finds the wrong account? Big brands often advertise under legal names (e.g. "Samsung Electronics America, Inc.") or several country accounts. Search by domain (samsung.com) to get every advertiser promoting the site, or copy the exact advertiser ID from the run log, which lists the other matches it found.

How do I get only ads that are running now? Set Only ads shown in the last N days to 1 (shown today) or 7. It uses the same date filter as Google's site, in Pacific Time, and Google keeps about a year of dates, so the maximum is 365. You only pay for the ads that match.

Why does an advertiser show 0 ads? The advertiser may not run ads in the selected country. Try leaving Country empty.

Is it legal? It collects data Google publishes publicly for ad transparency.
