A cheaper drop-in alternative for scraping the public Facebook / Meta Ad Library. It uses the same input and output fields as the popular ad library scrapers, so you can switch without code changes. No login and no cookies needed.
| Price | |
|---|---|
| Per ad | $0.00041 ($0.41 per 1,000 ads) |
| Per run start | $0.005 |
| Error rows | Free |
Input
Paste Ad Library search URLs or Facebook Page URLs into urls.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
urls | Ad Library search URLs (build the search on facebook.com/ads/library and copy the URL) or Page URLs. |
scrapeAdDetails | Adds advertiser, EU reach and transparency fields to each ad. Off by default. Needs one extra request per ad, so runs are slower. Same price per ad. |
limitPerSource | Stops a URL at the end of the page that reaches this number, so it can exceed the limit by up to 30 ads. |
count | Stops the whole run at exactly this many ads. |
scrapePageAds.period | Page URLs only: all time, or the last 24 hours, 7, 14 or 30 days. |
scrapePageAds.activeStatus | Page URLs only: all, active or inactive. |
scrapePageAds.sortBy | Page URLs only: impressions_desc or most_recent. |
scrapePageAds.countryCode | Page URLs only: 2-letter country code, or ALL. |
runTag | Copied to a runTag column on each ad. |
proxy | Optional custom proxy. By default the Actor uses datacenter proxies, with residential as a fallback. |
Output
One row per ad, in the order the Ad Library shows them.

A URL that fails produces a free row with url, errorType and error.
Limitations
- With
scrapeAdDetails, an ad whose details still fail after retries keeps its other fields, with the detail fields set to null, and the run log says how many. - Image and video links are signed by Facebook and expire after some days. Download the files if you need to keep them.
Is scraping the Ad Library legal?
This Actor reads the public Ad Library without logging in. Ads can still contain personal data, such as names in ad text or on Pages, which laws like the GDPR protect. Only process it if you have a legitimate reason, and ask your lawyers if you're unsure.
