# Find which companies run Google Ads, from a list of websites

**Use case:** 

Give a list of websites and get one row each: whether Google ads lead to it, about how many, the latest day one was shown and the advertisers behind them. Built for lead lists in Clay or a CRM, where a company that pays for ads now is worth a call. The example checks three CRM vendors. $0.004 per website, with no ad rows to pay for.

## Input

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Ads Transparency Center Scraper & Monitor](https://apify.com/kaleidoscopelabs/google-ads-transparency-data.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/kaleidoscopelabs/google-ads-transparency-data.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/kaleidoscopelabs/google-ads-transparency-data.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`).
