# See the Facebook ads a brand is running right now

**Use case:** 

Give it a brand or Facebook page and get the Meta ads it runs today, from the Facebook Ad Library: format, card count, headline, body text, call to action button and start date, with the measured structure of up to 3 ads. No API key for this example. $0.01 for the run, plus about $0.06 for the ad fetch on your own Apify account. Add an Anthropic key to read each ad for hook, offer and pacing.

## Input

```json

  "advertiserName": "Nike",

  "synthesisBrief": true,
  "framesPerVideo": 6,
  "includeOnScreenText": true,

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Facebook Ads Analyzer: see and read a competitor's live ads](https://apify.com/frameprobe/ad-teardown.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/frameprobe/ad-teardown.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/frameprobe/ad-teardown.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
