}

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull it via the Apify API.

How to find an advertiser ID or domain

Open adstransparency.google.com, search a brand, and click it. The URL contains the advertiser ID (AR...). Or just pass the brand name as a query and let the Actor resolve it.

Pricing

Pay per result — you're charged $0.002 per ad delivered to your dataset, and nothing else. No monthly rental, no platform-usage surprises. A 500-ad competitor sweep costs $1.00.

Tips

• Prefer domains or advertiserIds over queries when you know the exact advertiser — name search can be ambiguous for common words.
• Turn on fetchDetails only when you need creative variants / preview URLs; it adds one request per ad.
• Set a region to see what a global brand runs specifically in your market.
