page.mouse.wheel() (which fired at default mouse position (0,0), not over Meta's virtualized scroll container) plus a 3-iteration stable-count early-exit. The result was a hard cap at ~30 ads per query regardless of maxAdsPerQuery. The new path opens one Playwright page per query, intercepts the first /api/graphql/ request to harvest lsd / fb_dtsg / doc_id / cookies, closes the browser, and walks AdLibrarySearchPaginationQuery over HTTP using got-scraping until has_next_page === false or the user-supplied cap is reached. maxAdsPerQuery: 500 now actually returns up to 500 ads for high-volume advertisers.doc_id sniffed at bootstrap, not hardcoded. Meta rotates query identifiers on every build; we read whatever is current from the live request rather than embedding a value that goes stale.forwardCursor / cursor treated as opaque. The captured variables object is reused verbatim with only the cursor key mutated per page.nextPageCursor surfaced on the final dataset row when the run was stopped by maxAdsPerQuery (or maxAds) before the connection ended. Opaque resume token; absent when pagination ran to completion.extractAdObjects(), findJsonObjectEnd(), scrapeRenderedAds(), MAX_SCROLLS_PER_SOURCE, SCROLL_WAIT_MILLIS — DOM HTML-grep and scroll-loop helpers no longer needed.test/url.test.ts), token extraction (test/token-extraction.test.ts), paginator cursor loop / retry / dedup / schema drift (test/paginator.test.ts), and runner orchestration (test/runner.test.ts). Live Meta calls remain a manual smoke test via apify run.query as the headline input — accepts keywords (crochet), page handles (@ZapierApp), page URLs, or full Ad Library URLs.country, activeStatus, adType, mediaType, period, sortBy, maxAds, maxAdsPerQuery. The old scrapePageAds.*, urls, count, and limitPerSource keys are still accepted for backwards compatibility.mediaType and adType filters that map to Ad Library URL parameters.period filter now applies to keyword searches too (not only page-ad scrapes).query field so multi-search runs can be split apart later.curious_coder/facebook-ads-library-scraper.
