What is LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper?

LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper turns the public LinkedIn Ad Library into a structured dataset. The Ad Library lists the ads companies run on LinkedIn. On October 18, 2026 it showed 26,224 ads for Microsoft, 30,567 for SAP and 2,242 for NVIDIA.

The easiest way to try it: search for an advertiser in the Ad Library, set the country and date filters, copy the URL from your browser, paste it into Start URLs and click Start. It works as a LinkedIn Ad Library API alternative: no LinkedIn account, cookies or API key needed.

What can LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper do?

• 🔎 Any Ad Library search. Advertiser, keyword, payer, countries, date range and impressions filters are read straight from the URL.
• 🏢 Company pages. Paste a LinkedIn company URL and get all of that company's ads (matched by company id, not by name).
• 🔗 Single ads. Paste ad detail URLs to scrape specific ads.
• 🎨 12 ad formats. Single image, video, carousel, document, event, article, message (InMail and conversation), text, spotlight, follow company, jobs and job posting ads, each with its own content fields.
• 📊 Reach and targeting. Run dates, total impressions, impressions by country, targeted languages and locations, and which targeting parameters were used or excluded, when LinkedIn shows them.
• ⚡ Skip details mode. Read only the search results for much faster, cheaper runs.
• 📅 Scheduling. Run daily or weekly with Apify Schedules to track competitors' new LinkedIn ads.
• 🔌 API and integrations. Use the Apify API, or send results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack or webhooks with Apify integrations. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

How to scrape the LinkedIn Ad Library

1. Open the LinkedIn Ad Library and search by advertiser, keyword or payer. Set countries and dates if you like.
2. Copy the URL of the results page, for example https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/search?accountOwner=apify&countries=US&dateOption=last-30-days.
3. Open LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper in Apify Console and sign in (or create a free account).
4. Paste the URL into Start URLs. Add more search URLs, ad URLs or company pages if you need them.
5. Set Results limit (ads per URL). Leave Skip details off to get reach, targeting, run dates and full ad copy.
6. Click Start, then download the ads from the Output tab as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

How much does it cost to scrape the LinkedIn Ad Library?

LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: each ad is charged once, with or without details. Compute and proxy costs are included in the event price; there are no other usage charges for the run.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
ad-without-details (Skip details on)	$0.00099	$0.00089	$0.00079	$0.00069
ad-with-details (full ad page)	$0.00299	$0.00249	$0.00199	$0.00149
Per 1,000 ads without details	$0.99	$0.89	$0.79	$0.69
Per 1,000 ads with details	$2.99	$2.49	$1.99	$1.49

For example, 1,000 ads with full details cost $2.99 on the Free plan, or $0.99 with Skip details on. If an ad's page can't be loaded, that ad is saved from the search results and charged at the lower price. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify Console and the actor stops when it's reached.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	URL[]	Yes	—	Ad Library search URLs, ad detail URLs or LinkedIn company URLs
resultsLimit	integer	No	all	Maximum ads per start URL
skipDetails	boolean	No	false	Read search results only (faster and cheaper, fewer fields)
concurrency	integer	No	8	Ad pages loaded at the same time (1-32)

Use the LinkedIn Ads Library Scraper API

Start the actor and read its results from your own code with the Apify API clients. Find your token in Apify Console → Settings → Integrations.

Python (apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("parsebird/linkedin-ads-library-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/search?accountOwner=hubspot&countries=DE&dateOption=last-30-days"}],
    "resultsLimit": 200,
})
for ad in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(ad["format"], ad["headline"], ad["impressions"], ad["clickUrl"])

JavaScript (apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('parsebird/linkedin-ads-library-scraper').call({
    startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/salesforce/' }],
    resultsLimit: 500,
    skipDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((ad) => console.log(ad.advertiserName, ad.format, ad.body));

Use cases

• Competitor research: see every LinkedIn ad a competitor runs, with copy, creative, CTA and landing page.
• B2B ad inspiration: collect headlines, hooks and formats that companies in your market use.
• Agency reporting: track which agencies (paidBy) run ads for which brands.
• Reach analysis: compare impressions and country splits across ads and advertisers.
• Targeting insight: see which languages, locations and targeting types advertisers choose.
• Monitoring: schedule a run to catch new ads from the companies you follow.

How it works

1. Each search URL is run as it is, with all its filters. Company URLs are turned into a search by the company's LinkedIn id.
2. The actor pages through the results (24 ads per page) and removes duplicates across URLs.
3. Unless Skip details is on, it opens each ad's page for the full copy, media, run dates, impressions and targeting.
4. Ads are saved and charged as they come in. LinkedIn blocks datacenter IPs from the Ad Library, so the actor uses residential proxies; that cost is included in the price.

FAQ

Why do some ads have no impressions, run dates or targeting? LinkedIn shows impressions, the run period and targeting only for some ads. In our tests about a third of ads had them (172 of 500 across Microsoft and Salesforce); the rest show only the creative and the advertiser. The actor returns this data whenever the ad page has it.

What does Skip details change? With Skip details on, the actor reads only the search results. You get the format, advertiser name and logo, headline, image or video cover and the start of the ad copy (search results cut it at about 100 characters). Run dates, impressions, targeting, paidBy, advertiserUrl, landing page and video files are only on the ad page. In our tests on Apify, 1,000 ads without details took about 3.5 minutes, and 500 ads with details about 8 minutes.

Can I filter by country or date when I use a company URL? Not with the company URL itself. Instead, search for the company in the Ad Library, set the filters there and paste that search URL.

Why is clickUrl empty for some ads? Some ads don't link out from the Ad Library preview (for example message ads, or ads whose button LinkedIn shows without a link). The actor returns the landing page whenever the ad shows one.

Why do message ads contain %FIRSTNAME%? These are LinkedIn's personalization placeholders. The ad copy is returned exactly as the advertiser wrote it.

Can I schedule runs and connect them to other tools? Yes. Use Apify Schedules for recurring runs and integrations for Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n or webhooks. Results are also available through the API.

Something doesn't work or a field is missing? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab with the input you used, and we'll look into it.

Is it legal to scrape the LinkedIn Ad Library?

This actor collects ad information that LinkedIn publishes in its public Ad Library. Message ads can show the sender's name and photo, which are personal data, so if you process them, make sure you have a lawful basis under the privacy laws that apply to you (for example the GDPR), and respect LinkedIn's terms of use. Scraping public data is generally lawful, but you are responsible for how you use it. Read more in Apify's blog post Is web scraping legal?, and ask a lawyer if you're unsure.
