LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper: Competitor Ads

See every LinkedIn ad a competitor is running, in one spreadsheet: ad text, headline, image or video, call to action, landing page, who paid, run dates, impressions range, impressions by country and targeting, one row per ad. Search the LinkedIn Ad Library by company name, keyword or paying company, narrow it by country, dates and impressions, and download the results as CSV, Excel or JSON. No LinkedIn login or cookies needed.

• Type a company name, get its ads. Put HubSpot or Siemens in Advertiser names and get the ads that company runs on LinkedIn, newest first.
• Find ads on any topic. Put words such as CRM software or hiring in Keywords in the ad and get ads from every advertiser that uses them.
• See who they target. With details on (the default), each ad also has its run dates, impressions range, impressions by country and the targeting LinkedIn shows (location, language, job, company), plus every version of the ad.
• Quick. In runs on 2026-10-17, 50 HubSpot ads with full details took under 2 minutes, 300 ads with details 4.5 minutes, and 1,000 ads with list data only 3.5 minutes.
• Ready for your tools. Download CSV, Excel or JSON, or send the rows to Google Sheets, your BI tool or an AI agent.

FAQ

How do I see all the LinkedIn ads a competitor is running?

Put the competitor's name in Advertiser names and run it: you get one row per ad with text, image or video, landing page, run dates and impressions. Set Ads per search to the number you want (up to 5,000) and pick a date range to see only recent ads.

How do I export the LinkedIn Ad Library to CSV or Excel?

Run a search here and download the table as CSV or Excel from the run's Output tab. Every ad is one row, and the ad's Ad Library link is in adLibraryUrl so you can open the original.

How do I find LinkedIn ads by keyword?

Put the words in Keywords in the ad, one per line, such as CRM software or cybersecurity. Each keyword returns ads from any advertiser that uses it; add countries or a date range to narrow it.

Can I see the targeting and impressions of a competitor's LinkedIn ads?

Yes, keep Include full ad details on and each ad gets the impressions range, impressions by country and the targeting LinkedIn shows (location, language, job, company). LinkedIn shows these for part of the ads only (see Limitations).

How do I track new LinkedIn ads from competitors every week?

Save your input as a task and schedule it weekly with When the ads ran set to Last 30 days or exact start and end dates. Each row has checkedAt and adId, so you can keep only the ads you have not seen before.

Pricing

You pay per ad returned, plus a small fee per run. Ads with details cost more than ads with only the search list data; turn Include full ad details off to pay the lower price. Free rows (a search with no ads, an ad that is gone, a refused request) are never charged, and the same ad found by two of your searches is charged once. Set a maximum total charge for a run and the Actor stops before going over it and adds a free row that says so. If a run gets close to its Timeout, it stops on its own the same way: every ad returned is kept and charged, nothing after that is read or charged, and a free row says so.

Limitations

• Data comes from the public LinkedIn Ad Library, which keeps ads for one year. Older ads are not available.
• Run dates, impressions, impressions by country and targeting appear only when LinkedIn shows them on the ad's page. In runs on 2026-10-17 that was 22% to 55% of ads; the other ads come back with these fields empty. Nothing is guessed.
• Spend, clicks and results are not in the Ad Library, so they are not included.
• headline, callToAction and destinationUrl are empty for ads that have none (many text and thought-leader posts).
• A company name search returns the ads LinkedIn lists for that advertiser name. For a company whose name is shared by others, add countries or paste the Ad Library search URL you already checked.
• With Include full ad details off, rows have only the search list data: advertiser, format, ad text, headline and image.
• Up to 500 names and keywords and 5,000 URLs per run, and up to 5,000 ads per search. How many fit in one run depends on its Timeout (1 hour by default): in runs on 2026-10-17 that was about 70 ads a minute with details (about 3,500 an hour) and about 300 a minute per search with list data only. For more, raise the Timeout in the run options, turn off Include full ad details, or split the input into several runs.
