Google Ads Transparency Scraper

Scrape the Google Ads Transparency Center as clean, structured JSON - every Google ad an advertiser runs, or every ad that points to a website, across Google Search, YouTube, Display, Shopping, Maps and Play. Each ad comes with its format, first and last shown dates, days shown, the ad image or preview, the Google Ads ids behind it and a link to its Transparency Center page. Optionally add where and how much it ran (countries, dates, EU impressions per platform, disclosed targeting) and what the ad says (headline and description of text ads, product of shopping ads, the YouTube video of video ads). No Google account or proxies to set up.

Features

• By advertiser or by website - search an advertiser by name (Nike), by its Transparency Center id (AR...), or get every ad that links to a domain (nike.com).
• Smart name matching - a name resolves to the advertiser that best fits it (the brand, not a small namesake); the choice is in advertisersUsed. A brand that advertises under its company name falls back to its website.
• Filters - region (one or several countries), platform (Search, YouTube, Maps, Play, Shopping), format (text, image, video) and a shown-date window.
• Lots of ads - up to 1000 ads per advertiser or website, newest shown first.
• Ad images - the archived ad image with its size, or the preview link.
• Google Ads ids - googleCreativeId, googleCustomerId and adGroupId where Google exposes them.
• Reach and targeting (optional) - countries with first and last dates; for EU countries, impressions per platform, total EU reach and the targeting the advertiser disclosed.
• Ad content (optional) - headline, description and display URL of text ads, product title and merchant of shopping ads, the YouTube video of video ads, and every text shown in the ad.

Use cases

• Competitor ad research - see every ad a competitor runs, where, since when and on which Google platform.
• Creative inspiration - collect ad copy, images and YouTube videos in your market.
• Agency pitches and audits - show a prospect's or a client's ad activity in minutes.
• Brand protection - find ads that point to your domain from other advertisers.
• Ad intelligence datasets - track new and stopped ads over time on a schedule.

{KeyWord:...} is the advertiser's own keyword-insertion template, as Google shows it. payerName is only filled when the payer is a company. Advertisers or websites that return no ads or cannot be read go to the ERRORS record in the run's key-value store, with the reason. They are not billed.

Pricing

$1 per 1000 ads (pay per result) - one dataset item is one ad. Two optional extras are billed per ad only when you turn them on:

• ad-details - $1 per 1000, per ad that comes back with details (Include details).
• ad-preview - $1 per 1000, per ad whose preview comes back with the ad's text or its YouTube video (Include ad content).

Failed inputs are free.

Notes

• Many Google Search text ads exist in the Transparency Center only as an image of the ad (imageUrl); for those the preview holds no text.
• Google publishes impressions for ads shown in the EU; for other countries details gives the countries and dates the ad ran.
• Google does not publish an ad's landing page, only the website it matched (matchedDomain).
• Ads come newest shown first.
