How to extract video from “video-format” creatives that only show image carousels?

Hi! I’ve run into a common issue I hope you might have a solution for:

For some creatives marked as Format: Video, like this one: 👉 https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR01996929719831887873/creative/CR15437536106043670529?region=PL

— Google Ads Transparency only displays a carousel of still images, and doesn’t provide access to the actual video.

However, it’s visually obvious from the frames (movement, transitions, consistency) that this is a real video ad, not a set of static banners.

My question: Do you know of any way (maybe via internal API, background calls, or experimental methods) to extract or reconstruct the actual video file from these types of creatives?

Hi!

When you run this scraper for that input URL you will see the following entry in the resulting variations list:

{
"clickUrl": "https://quiz.betterme.world/en/first-page-generated?flow=3385",
"description": "Achieve Your Fitness Goals with the Triple A Program",
"headline": "20-Minute Workouts",
"videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvMcvhnwyCI"
},

As you can see, the video URL is available as videoUrl. Is this what you were looking for or did you mean something else?

Thank you so much! I've skipped it. Now I see all links.
