Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## PowerAdSpy Scraper [![Apify Actor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apify-Actor-blue)](https://apify.com/ideas/poweradspy-scraper) **PowerAdSpy Scraper** is an [Apify Actor](https://apify.com/actors) that logs into [PowerAdSpy.com](https://poweradspy.com/) โ€” a leading ad intelligence platform โ€” and extracts detailed ad creative data. Search for ads by keyword across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google. ### ๐Ÿ” What It Does - **Login** to PowerAdSpy with your account credentials - **Search** for ads by one or more keywords - **Extract** ad creative data including: - Ad ID - Network (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google) - Advertiser / Brand name - Ad copy (body text) - Headline / Title - Call-to-action (CTA) text - Landing page URL - Image and video URLs - Scraped-at timestamp ### ๐Ÿ“‹ Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `email` | string | โœ… | Your PowerAdSpy account email | | `password` | string (secret) | โœ… | Your PowerAdSpy account password | | `keywords` | string[] | โœ… | Keywords to search for (array of strings) | | `network` | string | โŒ | Filter by network: `all`, `facebook`, `instagram`, `youtube`, `google` (default: `all`) | > **Important:** You must have a **paid PowerAdSpy subscription** to access ad data. The Actor logs in with your credentials and scrapes data available to your account. ### ๐Ÿ“ค Output Results are stored in the default dataset with the following schema: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `adId` | string | Unique ad identifier | | `network` | string | Ad network (facebook, instagram, youtube, google) | | `advertiser` | string | Advertiser/brand name | | `adCopy` | string | Ad body text | | `headline` | string | Ad headline/title | | `cta` | string | Call-to-action text | | `landingPageUrl` | string | Landing page URL | | `imageUrl` | string | Creative image URL | | `videoUrl` | string | Creative video URL (if applicable) | | `platform` | string | Always `poweradspy` | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO-8601 scrape timestamp | ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing (PPE) This Actor uses **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing: | Event | Charge | Description | |-------|--------|-------------| | `search-start` | **$0.005** | Charged once per keyword search | | `ad-result` | **$0.002** | Charged per ad result extracted | Example: Searching 5 keywords that return 20 ads each would cost: (5 ร— $0.005) + (100 ร— $0.002) = **$0.225** ### ๐Ÿš€ Quick Start #### Local Development ```bash ## Install dependencies npm install ## Run locally (with Apify CLI) apify run ## Or run directly npm start ```` #### Deploy to Apify ```bash apify push ``` ### ๐Ÿงน Graceful Shutdown The Actor handles abort signals gracefully, cleaning up browser resources and exiting promptly to minimize costs. ### โš ๏ธ Notes - PowerAdSpy requires an active paid subscription - The Actor uses Playwright with stealth settings to avoid detection - Rate limiting and human-like delays are applied between actions - Credentials are handled securely via Apify's secret input system ### ๐Ÿ“š Use Cases - **Competitive research** โ€” See what ads your competitors are running - **Creative inspiration** โ€” Discover winning ad copy and creative formats - **Market intelligence** โ€” Track ad trends across networks and verticals - **Agency reporting** โ€” Build competitive ad intelligence for client reports # Actor input Schema ## `email` (type: `string`): Your PowerAdSpy account email address (required). A paid PowerAdSpy subscription is needed to access ad data. ## `password` (type: `string`): Your PowerAdSpy account password (required, stored securely). ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Keywords to search for on PowerAdSpy. Each keyword will be searched individually. ## `network` (type: `string`): Filter ads by ad network. Leave as 'all' to search all networks. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "weight loss", "credit card" ], "network": "all" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "email": "", "keywords": [ "weight loss", "credit card" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("reverberant_equality/poweradspy-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–?
