Advertiser Page IDs

pageIds

Optional

The advertiser's numeric Facebook Page ID. Use this when you want ads from one exact brand or reliable scheduled monitoring. You can find it in a Meta Ads Library URL after view_all_page_id=. Example: 101694774572.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "101694774572"
]

Search terms

searchTerms

Optional

A brand, product, offer, or market phrase to search across advertisers, such as running shoes. Best for discovery and market research. For monitoring one known advertiser, use its Page ID instead.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "running shoes"
]

Meta Ads Library URLs

startUrls

Optional

Paste a full facebook.com/ads/library URL exactly as it appears in your browser. Filters already present in the URL are preserved. A URL containing view_all_page_id identifies one exact advertiser; a general search URL is for discovery only.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  {
    "url": "https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_type=all&country=US&view_all_page_id=101694774572"
  }
]

Countries where ads are shown

countries

Optional

Choose the audience country where the ads should be visible—not the advertiser's home country. Enter two-letter codes such as US, GB, or DE, or ALL for Meta's all-countries view. Every advertiser/search is checked separately in each country.

Type:string[]

Default:

[
  "ALL"
]

Example:

[
  "US",
  "GB"
]

Maximum ads per advertiser/search

maxResultsPerTarget

Optional

Maximum ads returned for each advertiser or search term in each country. The prefilled value keeps the first test small. Remove the limit for complete advertiser monitoring; a limited run will not claim that missing ads became inactive.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Example:

100

Ad status

activeStatus

Optional

Filter by the status reported by Meta: all ads, ads currently running, or ads Meta marks inactive. Choose All ads when building a complete advertiser history.

Type:string

Default:all

Options:

allactiveinactive

Started on or after

startDateMin

Optional

Optional earliest ad start date. Leave empty to include older ads.

Type:string

Example:

2026-01-01

Started on or before

startDateMax

Optional

Optional latest ad start date. Leave empty for no upper date limit.

Type:string

Example:

2026-12-31

Ad category (advanced)

adType

Optional

Meta Ads Library ad_type value. Keep all for normal commercial-ad research. Change this only when you know the exact value used by a Meta Ads Library URL.

Type:string

Default:all

Media type

mediaType

Optional

Optional Meta Ads Library media_type value. Leave empty to include images, videos, carousels, and other available formats.

Type:string

Content languages

contentLanguages

Optional

Optional two-letter ad-content language codes, for example en or de. This filters the language of the ad itself, not the country where it is shown. Leave empty for all languages.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "en"
]

Publisher platforms

publisherPlatforms

Optional

Optional placements such as facebook or instagram. Leave empty to include every platform reported by Meta for the ad.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Example:

[
  "facebook",
  "instagram"
]

Keep history and detect changes

tracking

Optional

Compare this run with earlier runs that use the same History group name. Enable it to detect new ads, reused creatives, copy/media/landing-page changes, inactivity, and reactivation.

Type:boolean

Default:false

History group name

trackingNamespace

Optional

A stable label that connects related scheduled runs, such as nike-us or client-a-weekly. Keep it unchanged for the same monitoring job. Use a different name for an unrelated brand, country set, or filter setup.

Type:string

Max. length:96

Default:default

Example:

competitor-shoe-brand-us

Output

outputMode

Optional

Raw ads: full ad records for a normal scrape. Changes only: just new/changed/inactive/reactivated events. Raw ads and changes: full ads in the Default Dataset plus events in a separate Changes Dataset.

Type:string

Default:raw

Options:

rawchangesrawAndChanges

Include parsed Meta source record

includeRawPayload

Optional

Add Meta's complete parsed source object under raw in every ad record. Leave this off for smaller, cleaner Datasets. Enable it only when you need source-level fields for diagnostics, custom parsing, or future migrations.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Connection settings

proxyConfiguration

Optional

The preselected Apify Residential proxy is recommended for reliable Meta Ads Library access. Most users should leave this unchanged. Public media files are fetched directly so their bytes do not create unnecessary residential-proxy charges.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}

Advertisers/searches at the same time

concurrency

Optional

How many advertiser/search/country combinations run at once. The default is a safe balance. Higher values may finish sooner but open more proxy sessions.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:16

Default:4

Media files checked at the same time

mediaConcurrency

Optional

How many image or video files can be verified at once when history is enabled. The default balances speed, memory, and network use.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:8

Default:2

Request timeout (seconds)

requestTimeoutSecs

Optional

How long one Meta or media request may wait before it is treated as timed out. Increase only for unusually slow network conditions.

Type:integer

Minimum:5

Maximum:120

Default:30

Maximum request attempts

maxRequestAttempts

Optional

Maximum bounded attempts for temporary connection failures, selected server errors, and rate limits. Missing optional ad fields do not trigger a full retry.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5

Default:3

Checkpoint interval (pages)

checkpointEveryPages

Optional

Save restart progress after this many completed Meta result pages. Lower values preserve finer progress after an interrupted run but create more storage operations.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50

Default:5

Largest media file to verify (bytes)

maxMediaBytes

Optional

Maximum size downloaded to verify one image or video when history is enabled. The default 100000000 equals 100 MB. Larger assets still appear in raw results, but the Actor avoids definitive new/reused creative claims when it cannot verify the full file.

Type:integer

Minimum:1000000

Maximum:500000000

Default:100000000
