- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/deriverge/google-ads-transparency-scraper.md

##### 2026-09-30

*Fixes*

- With per-ad details on, `firstShown` and `lastShown` keep Google's global dates from the ad list. They used to take the dates of the EU countries, so an ad still running could show a last date years in the past.
- A full address such as `https://www.nike.com` is read as the domain `nike.com`; it used to be searched as a brand name.
- A **Region** code the Center does not know stops the run with a message, where it used to be ignored and ads from every country came back. `UK` is read as `GB`.

##### 2026-09-28

*Changes*

- `advertisers` can also be sent as `advertiser`, `domains`, `domain`, `query`, `queries`, `companies`, `company`, `urls` or `url`, or as one text with the entries separated by commas or line breaks.

##### 2026-09-27

*Fixes*

- When Google answers with HTTP 429, requests continue through Apify Proxy with a new IP, and each request is tried up to five times instead of three.

*Changes*

- The watch field is now called `watchName`. Runs that still send the old name `watchKey` keep working.

##### 2026-09-24

*Changes*

- Lower price per ad on every plan.

##### 2026-09-23

*Features*

- The **Last shown after** filter accepts moving dates: `today`, `yesterday` or a day offset such as `-30`, so a saved task always looks at the same recent period.

##### 2026-09-06

*Fixes*

- New-only mode keeps its snapshots in storage of its own, which fixes a permission error that could stop the run.

##### 2026-09-03

*Features*

- First version: every ad of an advertiser, domain or advertiser ID from the Google Ads Transparency Center, with format, preview, first and last shown dates, a region filter, per-ad details with countries, impression ranges and variants, and a new-only mode.
