Google Ads Transparency Center Scraper + Per-Country Details

See every Google ad a competitor runs — on Google Search, YouTube, Google Play, Maps and Shopping — straight from the public Google Ads Transparency Center. Search by brand name, website domain or advertiser ID and export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Choose this Actor when you need a brand's full Google ad inventory with where and how long each ad ran: every country, first and last shown date per country, and EU impression counts.

Not the right fit when you need ad spend, clicks, keywords or audience targeting — the Transparency Center does not publish them.

Use cases

• Competitor ad research — which messages, offers and formats a competitor runs, and which ads stay live for months (daysShown).
• Agency pitches and audits — show a prospect every ad their competitors run, country by country.
• Market entry research — which brands advertise in a country and on which Google platforms.
• Lead generation — find companies actively advertising for a domain or niche.
• Monitoring — schedule daily runs and compare creativeIds to catch new creatives.

Quick start

1. Enter a brand in Advertiser names (e.g. HubSpot) or a website in Domains.
2. Optional: pick a country, format, platform or date range.
3. Turn on Include ad details if you need per-country dates and EU impressions.
4. Run and export.

A brand name includes all of the brand's verified advertiser accounts (for example "HubSpot", "Hubspot, Inc." and "HubSpot, Inc."). The run log lists which accounts were matched.

Output example (one ad)

{
  "advertiserName": "Hubspot, Inc.",
  "advertiserId": "AR10072600183532683265",
  "creativeId": "CR…",
  "adUrl": "https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR10072600183532683265/creative/CR…",
  "format": "IMAGE",
  "imageUrl": "https://…",
  "firstShown": "2024-12-05T03:45:58Z",
  "lastShown": "2026-09-16T16:55:12Z",
  "daysShown": 568,
  "regions": [
    { "country": "US", "lastShown": "2026-09-16" },
    { "country": "ES", "firstShown": "2024-12-12", "impressionsLowerBound": 1000 }

  "euFirstShown": "2024-12-12",
  "euLastShown": "2026-09-16",

}

regions, eu… and variations are present only with Include ad details. Text ads are returned as rendered images in imageUrl (that is how Google stores them). Image ads also have imageWidth / imageHeight; video and rich ads have previewUrl; domain searches add targetDomain.

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 ads + $1.00 per 1,000 ads with details (only when "Include ad details" is on).

Example: 1,000 ads with details = $2.00. Failed searches are never charged. Platform usage is included. Set a maximum cost per run for a hard cap.

FAQ

Are text ads included? Yes, as rendered images in imageUrl.

Why does the platform filter return fewer ads? Google only records platforms for ads shown since September 4, 2023.

Can I get ad spend or targeting? No. The Transparency Center does not publish spend, clicks, keywords or audiences. EU impression lower bounds are the only reach figure Google provides.

How do I monitor a competitor? Schedule the Actor daily with the same input and compare creativeIds with the previous run.

Can I call it from Make, n8n or Zapier? Yes — use the Apify integration or the run-sync-get-dataset-items API endpoint with the JSON input above.

Is this data public? Yes. The Google Ads Transparency Center is a public Google service. The Actor collects no personal data. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Google's terms.
