Google Ads Transparency Scraper

Find public advertiser pages and ads in Google’s Ads Transparency Center. Search by advertiser or provide a public Center URL. The dataset connects each creative to its advertiser and can include visible ad text, format, public media, dates, and other disclosures.

How to use

1. Search for an advertiser, or provide a public Ads Transparency Center URL in startUrls.
2. Set a country or platform and add any advertiser, format, or verification filters.
3. Choose the result and page limits. Enable includeCreativeDetails for additional public information about each ad.
4. Run the Actor and view the advertiser and creative records in the dataset.

Example:

{
  "advertiserName": "Example Advertiser",
  "country": "US",
  "platform": "SEARCH",
  "adFormat": "IMAGE",
  "verifiedOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 25,
  "includeCreativeDetails": true
}

Output

Each dataset record represents a public advertiser and creative, with advertiserId, creativeId, and creativeUrl as its key identifiers. The visible page determines which additional fields are available:

• Advertiser: public name, legal name, country, identity-verification status, and displayed ad-count text. Approximate counts are labeled as estimates.
• Creative: format, platform, region, visible text, headline, description, and public destination information when shown.
• Media: public image and video URLs, dimensions, labels, and media counts when available and enabled.
• Dates and disclosures: first or last shown dates, run duration, spend or impression ranges, recipient counts, audience criteria, and variation details when displayed by the Center. These fields are most likely to appear when includeCreativeDetails is enabled.

Text is collected only when it is visible in the public ad preview; text is not inferred from an image. Counts and date precision follow the wording shown by the source, and unavailable values are left empty or unknown.

Example dataset item:

{
  "advertiserId": "example-advertiser-id",
  "advertiserName": "Example Advertiser",
  "creativeId": "example-creative-id",
  "creativeUrl": "https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/example/creative/example",
  "adFormat": "IMAGE",
  "platform": "SEARCH",
  "region": "US",
  "adText": "Example public ad text",
  "creativeImageUrl": "https://example.com/public-ad-image.jpg",
  "lastShownText": "Sep 1, 2026"
}

The Output tab shows the available result fields. Run information and the dataset are available in the Actor’s Output tab.

Limits and responsible use
