Google Ads Transparency Scraper

🚀 Google Ads Transparency Scraper

Get every Google ad an advertiser runs, straight from the Google Ads Transparency Center. The Google Ads Transparency Scraper takes website domains, advertiser names, advertiser IDs or Transparency Center links and returns each ad with its advertiser, format (text, image, video), first and last shown dates, number of days shown, image or preview link and a link to the ad page. Turn on details to add every variation of the ad, each country it ran in and, for ads shown in the EU, impression ranges. Use it to track competitor advertising on Google Search, YouTube, Shopping and display, collect creatives for inspiration, or find companies that are actively buying ads.

✨ Features

• 🌐 Any Advertiser Input: Website domains (nike.com), advertiser names (Nike, Inc.), advertiser IDs (AR16735076323512287233) or Transparency Center links.
• 📚 Many Advertisers per Run: Bulk competitor lists in one run.
• 🌍 Any Country: A 2-letter country code (US, GB, DE…) or anywhere (default).
• 🎞️ Format and Date Filters: Text, image or video ads only, and ads shown since a date.
• 🔍 Details on Demand: Every variation, each country with first and last shown dates, EU impression ranges and the ad category.
• ⏱️ Longevity Signal: Days shown for every ad: long-running ads are the ones that work.
• 🧹 No Duplicates: An ad found through two inputs (a domain and its advertiser) is saved and charged once.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Paste domains, advertiser names or advertiser IDs, one per line.
2. Pick the region, format and how many ads you want: the default is 50.
3. Run the Scraper: download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel or pull them through the API.

• A domain returns ads from every advertiser verified for that website (the brand, its country entities and its agencies).
• An advertiser name is matched to the advertiser with exactly that name (legal suffixes such as Inc. or GmbH are ignored) and the most ads. The log shows the advertiser that was picked. For an exact advertiser, use its ID from the Transparency Center (AR…).
• A Transparency Center link keeps its own region and format.
• Names, domains and IDs that match nothing are skipped and not charged; the status message lists them.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Google account? No.

Why does a big brand's domain return ads from other advertisers? The Transparency Center lists every advertiser verified to run ads for that website: country entities and media agencies included. Use an advertiser ID to get one advertiser only.

Can I get the ads of a political campaign? This Actor covers the advertiser ad pages; political ad spend reports are not included.
