**Use case:**

  "maxAdsPerTarget": 5,
  "includeReach": true,
  "adContent": "never",
  "adFormat": "ALL",
  "maxAdvertisersPerName": 3,
  "maxVariationsPerAd": 3
}
```

## Output

  },
  "advertiserName": {
    "label": "Advertiser"

## FAQ

### Why is ad content turned off?

For lead generation you only need to know who advertises, where and how much. Turning off ad content makes the run faster and cheaper.

### Do I need a Google account?

No. It reads the public Google Ads Transparency Center. An Apify account is required to run it.

### How much does this example cost?

$0.40 per 1,000 ads, plus $0.10 per 1,000 for reach and regions and $0.20 per 1,000 for ad content, platform usage included. Optional parts are charged only when obtained; duplicates are free.

## 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/monkey.d.scraping/google-ads-transparency-scraper.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`).
