🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
advertiserNames	array	["Nike"]	Brand or advertiser names to look up (e.g. "Nike", "Adidas"). Each is resolved to its verified advertiser ID via the Transparency Center, then all of that advertiser's ads are scr…
domains	array		Advertiser web domains to search by (e.g. "nike.com"). Returns ads whose verified destination domain matches.
advertiserIds	array		Exact Transparency Center advertiser IDs (start with "AR..."). Use when you already know the ID and want to skip name resolution.
region	string	"US"	Two-letter region/country code to scope ad disclosure (e.g. US, GB, CA, DE, FR, AU). Use "anywhere" for all regions.
maxAds	integer	10	Maximum number of ad creatives to return across all advertisers/domains. Server-clamped to a hard ceiling of 1000 to keep compute bounded.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}	Proxy settings. Residential proxy is REQUIRED — the Transparency Center serves a CAPTCHA to datacenter IPs.
notionConnector	string		Optional Apify MCP Notion connector ID. If set, a summary page of the captured ads is created in your Notion workspace.
notionParentId	string		Optional Notion parent page ID under which to create the summary page.
supabaseConnector	string		Optional. Connect your own Supabase project and the results are also inserted into a table in the same run — the Actor never sees your Supabase credentials. Authorize a write-scop…
supabaseTable	string	"nexgendata_leads"	Target table in the public schema (created if missing, with id, a jsonb data column, and a scraped_at timestamp). Default: nexgendata_leads.
supabaseProjectId	string		Your Supabase project reference (e.g. abcdefghijklmnop). Required unless your connector URL is already project-scoped. Find it in your project URL: supabase.com/dashboard/project/…
deliveryDedup	boolean	true	When on (default), records already delivered in a previous run are not delivered again to the same destination — so scheduled runs only push new items. Turn off to deliver every r…

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Advertiser ad (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.04	Charged for each advertiser ad record returned.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.04 = $4.00 plus the start fee.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per ad creative (17 fields):

• advertiser_name, advertiser_id — the verified advertiser
• creative_id, creative_page_url — direct link to the ad on adstransparency.google.com
• ad_format — text / image / video
• first_shown, last_shown, days_served — the ad's disclosed run window
• matched_domain — verified destination domain (domain queries)
• regions, region_queried — disclosure regions
• preview_url, destination_url, rendering_variation — creative preview + raw rendering payload
• impressions_lower_bound, impressions_upper_bound — only populated for ads Google discloses impression bands for (political ads); null otherwise
• scraped_at

Pricing: $0.04 per ad record returned (Pay-Per-Event), plus the standard Actor-start event. Rows are only produced from ads actually returned by the Transparency Center — a blocked run fails and returns nothing.

⚙️ Input

{
  "advertiserNames": ["Nike"],
  "region": "US",
  "maxAds": 10
}

Supply at least one of advertiserNames, domains or advertiserIds. An empty input finishes with 0 records and charges nothing. maxAds is a hard cap (max 1000). A residential proxy is required — the Transparency Center serves a CAPTCHA to datacenter IPs.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it.

Sample agent prompt:

Get the last 20 Google ads run by nike.com in the US and summarize the creative themes.

Agentic payments (x402): Supports agentic payment via x402 — call this actor with USDC, no API key required.

📤 Optional delivery

Results can additionally be written to your own Notion workspace or Supabase project via an Apify MCP connector — the Actor never sees your credentials.
