Facebook Ads Library Scraper PRO

The most reliable, bypass-proof Meta Ad Library scraper on the market. Extracts full ad copy, pristine image/video URLs, and metadata by directly intercepting Facebook's internal APIs—completely sidestepping fragile HTML scraping.

🚀 Why This Scraper is Different (and Better)

Most Facebook scrapers on Apify suffer from two fatal flaws: they crash on 403 WAF blocks, or they break when Facebook changes their CSS classes, returning zero results.

We solved both:

1. Total WAF Immunity: We mimic human clicks from the Facebook homepage to generate perfect headers and session tokens. Even if Meta's frontend blocks the HTML load, our scraper successfully intercepts the raw JSON GraphQL payloads happening behind the scenes.
2. Zero DOM Fragility: Because we extract directly from Meta's structured backend JSON responses, this scraper is immune to Facebook's daily UI/CSS updates.
3. Boardroom-Ready CSV Exports: We don't give you messy JSON arrays. We automatically format Unix timestamps into human-readable dates, clean up the ad copy formatting, and extract pristine single URLs for Primary Images and Videos so they paste perfectly into Excel and Google Sheets.

💡 How to Search (Crucial for 5-Star Data)

The #1 mistake users make is treating the Facebook Ad Library like Google Maps. The search box only matches the ad text and the advertiser's name. It does NOT match location or targeting data.

If you put a city or county in the search term, you are almost guaranteed 0 results. (e.g., searching "plumber dallas" will fail, because advertisers rarely write "dallas" in their ad copy).

Here are the 3 ways to search correctly:

1. Spy on ONE competitor (Best Results): Type their exact Facebook Page name (e.g., Gymshark or Premier Building Solutions). This returns that advertiser's entire ad playbook.
2. Scan a whole category for ideas: Use a broad product term, no geography (e.g., metal buildings, storage sheds, CRM software, shapewear).
3. Find LOCAL competitors: Search broad (e.g., metal buildings), export the CSV, and then use Excel to filter the Ad Copy column for your area code or nearby town names. The location is sitting in the data, not in the search query.
