LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper

🔎 Search the LinkedIn Ads Library for focused ad research

For marketers, competitor researchers, agencies, and analysts, this Actor searches public LinkedIn Ads Library ads and saves structured ad records or a source-backed match count. Review ad copy, creative formats, source links, publication dates, impressions, targeting, and payer details when LinkedIn publishes them.

Use it to:

• Search a public library query with LinkedIn ads.
• Review one advertiser's public campaign with LinkedIn campaign.
• Group returned ads by source-published format with LinkedIn ad types.
• Browse ad copy, media, and links with LinkedIn ad examples.
• Check the fields available in each row with LinkedIn ad specs.

📦 Structured LinkedIn ad records and match counts

Use resultType to save one row for each matching ad or one source-backed count row. Ad rows can include advertiser and payer data, creative copy and media, destination links, publication dates, impression ranges, country breakdowns, targeting categories, and the source result count. Optional fields stay absent when LinkedIn does not publish them.

▶️ Run one focused LinkedIn Ads Library search

Choose one result type and one way to find ads for each run. Fields for other search choices are ignored. Use advertiser or keyword searches, start from a public search URL, or provide public ad-detail URLs. Add country, date, impression, targeting, payer, order, and ad-count settings when needed.

Run steps

1. Choose ads to save ad rows or count to save one source-backed count.
2. Choose advertiser, keyword, searchUrl, or adUrls in findAdsBy.
3. Add the matching search value, then add any filters for the source-published fields you need.
4. Open the results link to review the default dataset.

Match count shape

Each count row has resultType: "count" and the number reported by the source.

Field	Type	What it does
resultType	string: count	Identifies this row as a match count.
sourceResultCount	integer	Gives the number of matching ads reported by the source.

This genuine count row comes from a successful current-beta run.

{
  "resultType": "count",
  "sourceResultCount": 1148740
}

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event applies to each matching ad saved to the dataset. A count-only run saves a count row, so it does not use the ad event.

Buyer-facing event	What it covers
Ad	One matching ad with its available source fields is saved to your dataset.

Tier prices are shown in the Apify Store pricing panel.

🔌 Integrations

Open the results link in Apify or use the default Dataset API to read the saved rows.

❓ FAQ

Can one run combine several independent searches?

No. Each run uses one selected search method and one set of filters. Keyword lists and ad URL lists contain same-kind values for that selected method, not separate filter sets.

How do keyword and ad URL lists handle repeats?

When the same source ad appears again from another submitted value, the first eligible occurrence is saved and later matches are ignored. The saved row describes that first match.

Can I search by keyword or advertiser?

Yes. Choose keyword or advertiser, or start from a public search URL or public ad-detail URL list.

What does an empty maxItems value do?

For ads, leaving maxItems empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted. count ignores this setting.

What does a count run return?

It saves one row with resultType: "count" and sourceResultCount. It does not save matching ad rows.

Why is a field missing from an ad row?

LinkedIn does not publish every detail for every ad. Optional fields are omitted when the source does not provide them, and the Actor does not invent replacement values.

Does the Actor return spend, clicks, or conversions?

No. It returns source-published ad fields such as impressions, country breakdowns, and targeting. It does not provide spend, clicks, conversions, or campaign management data.

Can I use private LinkedIn data?

No. This Actor reads public LinkedIn Ads Library pages. It does not cover private or account-only LinkedIn surfaces.
