❓ FAQ

🔍 How does it work? The scraper connects directly to Google's official Ads Transparency Center and downloads ad data in structured format, without browser automation or website scraping.

📊 How accurate is the data? Data comes directly from Google's official transparency library. Impression ranges are estimates provided by Google, not exact counts.

📅 Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run this actor hourly, daily, or weekly to track ad changes over time.

⚖️ Is this legal? Yes. Google's Ads Transparency Center is public data designed for transparency and research. You are responsible for complying with local data protection laws and Google's terms of service.

🛡️ Will Google block me? Unlikely. This connects to Google's official public service, not website scraping. For extra safety, you can enable proxy rotation.

⚡ How long does a run take? Depends on item count. Collecting 100 ads takes 10-20 seconds. Collecting 10,000 ads takes 2-5 minutes. Larger runs scale linearly.
