Facebook Ads Library Scraper — Hard Limit, No Overcharge
Get ads from the public Facebook Ad Library (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Audience Network) for any country:
- Search by keywords (or exact phrase) or list all ads of an advertiser page
- Filter by country, active / inactive, media type and start date — the filters run inside the Ad Library
- Per ad: advertiser, text, title, link, CTA, images, videos, display format, platforms, start and end dates, page likes and categories
Why this Actor
The most common complaint about Ad Library scrapers is the bill: "asked for 40 ads, got 5,505 and a $27 charge", "ignores the date range", "a free-plan test used my whole monthly credit".
| Here | |
|---|---|
maxAds | A hard limit. The run stops at that number; you are never charged for more |
| Filters | Sent to the Ad Library itself, not applied after downloading everything |
| Proxy | Residential proxy is included in the price — no separate proxy bill |
| Empty search | Recognised from the Ad Library's own result count, ends in seconds and charges nothing |
| Run timeout | Stops 45 s before the timeout with everything collected so far |
Input
Or paste a full Ad Library URL into startUrl to reuse filters you set on the website.
Output (one item per ad)
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
adArchiveId, adLibraryUrl | Ad ID and public link |
pageName, pageId, pageUrl, pageLikeCount, pageCategories | Advertiser |

Run summary
Each run writes a SUMMARY record to its key-value store: matchingAdsReported (the Ad Library's own "~N results" count), adsReturned and maxAds.
Pricing
Pay per ad: one ad-result event per ad — $2.50 per 1,000 ads on the free plan, $2.25 (Starter), $2.00 (Scale), $1.75 (Business). Residential proxy is included. Apify adds its standard actor-start fee of $0.00005 per run. Never more than maxAds; searches with no ads cost nothing. The run stops when your spending limit is reached.
Tested on 7 searches in the US, UK, Germany, France and Spain: 7/7 returned 140–150 of 150 requested ads.
Limits — read before you rely on it
- This Actor reads the public Ad Library website. Facebook can change it or block access at any time; when that happens the run ends without charging and we fix it.
- Spend and reach are shown by Facebook only for political and issue ads (and EU/UK reach on the website for some ads).
- Image and video URLs are signed by Facebook and expire after some time — download them soon if you need them.
- For EU/UK ads with official reach and targeting data, use the official Meta Ad Library API.
