Facebook Ads Library Scraper

🚀 Facebook Ads Library Scraper

Scrape the Facebook Ad Library (Meta Ad Library) by keyword. The Facebook Ads Library Scraper returns every matching ad with the advertiser page, ad text, headline, call to action, landing page URL, images, videos, carousel cards, start and end dates, platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Audience Network, Threads) and active status. Political and issue ads add spend, impressions and reach ranges. Filter by country, ad status, ad category, media type and the dates the ads were shown. Use it for competitor ad research, creative inspiration, market and trend analysis, or political ad monitoring.

✨ Features

• 🔍 Search by Keyword: Many keywords per run, or paste search links copied from the Ad Library with all their filters.
• 🌍 Any Country: A 2-letter country code (US, GB, DE, BR…) or ALL.
• 🟢 Active or Ended Ads: Active only, inactive only, or both.
• 🗂️ Ad Categories: All ads, issues/elections/politics, housing, employment, financial products and services.
• 🖼️ Media Filter: Images, videos, memes, or text-only ads.
• 📅 Date Filter: Only ads shown between two dates.
• 🎬 Full Creatives: Image URLs, HD and SD video URLs with preview images, and every carousel card.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account or an access token? No.

Why are spend and impressions empty for most ads? The Ad Library publishes them only for issue, election and political ads. Pick the political_and_issue_ads category to get them.

Why do I get fewer ads than the count shown in the Ad Library? Some results stop paging early on the site itself; narrow the search (country, dates, media type) or split it into several keywords to reach more ads.

Can I get all ads of one advertiser? Yes, use the Facebook Page Ads Scraper with the page URL.
