Google Ads Transparency Scraper

See every ad a company runs on Google — Search, YouTube, Shopping, Maps and Play — straight from the public Google Ads Transparency Center. Search by domain, advertiser name, advertiser ID or paste any Transparency Center URL, and get clean data for each ad: image or preview, text ad copy, YouTube video link, first and last shown dates, countries, and impressions per country and platform (EU).

No login, no cookies, no Google account, no browser. Fast and cheap.

What can you do with it?

• Competitor ad intelligence — see which ads your competitors run right now, where, and for how long (shownForDays = a strong signal of a winning ad).
• Creative & copy research — collect headlines, descriptions, images and YouTube ad videos for swipe files, trend analysis or AI training.
• Ad check & lead generation — in Advertisers summary mode, check a list of domains: does each company run Google Ads, and roughly how many ads?
• Monitoring — schedule the Actor with Monitor mode on and get only the new ads since the last run.
• Market & compliance research — filter by country, platform, format and date range.

What data do you get?

One result per ad:

Field	Example
advertiserName, advertiserId, advertiserCountry	Nike Retail BV, AR18378488041124659201, NL

youtubeUrl, youtubeVideoId	the YouTube video of video ads
videoUrl, videoDurationSeconds	direct MP4 file and length of video ads hosted by Google (not on YouTube)
firstShown, lastShown, shownForDays	2021-10-25, 2026-10-06, 1808

impressionsMin, impressionsMax, platforms	total impressions range and split by platform (Search, YouTube, Shopping, Maps, Play)
variantCount, variantImageUrls	all A/B variations of the ad
adUrl	link to the ad on the Transparency Center

About impressions: Google publishes impression ranges only for ads shown in the European Union (Digital Services Act). For other countries you still get the country list and dates, and impression fields are empty.

About text ads: Google stores many older text ads only as images. When the ad text is available, you get headline, description and displayUrl; otherwise use imageUrl.

In Advertisers summary mode you get one result per domain or advertiser: runsGoogleAds, adsCountMin/adsCountMax, the advertiser accounts behind a domain, the latest date an ad was shown, and a link to the Transparency Center.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.40 per 1,000 results (one result = one ad or one advertiser summary), plus a tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run. Platform usage (compute and proxies) is included — you are not charged anything else. Ad details, text copy, YouTube links and country data are included.

Example	Cost
500 ads of one competitor	$0.70
ad check of 1,000 domains	$1.40

Set a maximum cost for a run and the Actor stops when it is reached.

Tips

• Advertiser names: Google may have several accounts with similar names (e.g. one per country). The account with the most ads is used; raise Max advertiser accounts per name to include more. For exact results, use the domain or the advertiser ID.
• Big brands can have 100,000+ ads — set Max ads per domain / advertiser to what you really need.
• Monitor mode remembers the ads it returned for each target + filter combination, so scheduled runs return only new ads.
• Ads are kept in the Transparency Center for about one year after they were last shown.
