Advertiser names

accountOwners

Optional

Company names as they appear in the Ad Library (e.g. "Salesforce", "HubSpot") — each is searched with the Ad Library's own advertiser search. Searching is never charged, and neither is a search that matches no ads or an ad with no readable text. A Facebook Ad Library advertiser belongs in steadyfetch/facebook-ads-transcript-scraper. Leave everything empty and click Start and the run is a 3-creative sample (a browse of the United States, last 30 days, charged like any run) — the fastest way to see real output.

Type:array | null

Keywords

keywords

Optional

Free-text Ad Library searches (e.g. "crm software", "recruiting"). Finds video ads across many advertisers in a niche.

Type:array | null

Countries

countries

Optional

Countries as the Ad Library lists them — the code or the country name both work, so US, USA and United States are one market, and UK reaches GB. "ALL" searches every country. LinkedIn searches one country at a time, so each one you add is its own search (they add up against "Max ads to process"). A country the Ad Library does not offer is refused, uncharged, and the row says which of the three things went wrong (a real market it does not offer, a region-wide ask, or a value nothing could place).

Type:array | null

Date range

dateOption

Optional

When the ads first ran. The value or the name of the window both work — last-30-days and "Last 30 days" are the same range. LinkedIn only serves ads created in roughly the last 12 months, whichever option you pick. Choose "custom-date-range" to use the two date fields below. A window this actor cannot read is never swapped for another period — it scopes every search the run makes, so the run stops with uncharged rows naming this field, the accepted values and every search it did not run.

Type:string | null

Custom range — start date

startdate

Optional

YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-08-01. Used with "custom-date-range" (setting both dates selects it for you). LinkedIn rejects dates more than about a year old.

Type:string | null

Custom range — end date

enddate

Optional

YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2026-08-30. Must be on or after the start date.

Type:string | null

Payer name

payer

Optional

The organisation that paid for the ads, as the Ad Library's "Payer" filter spells it. Often differs from the advertiser on the creative (an agency, or a regional entity).

Type:string | null

Minimum impressions

impressionsMin

Optional

Whole number of impressions, e.g. 50000. The filter goes up to 1,000,000,000; ask for a bigger number and the run continues at that ceiling, with one uncharged row saying so. LinkedIn only publishes impression counts for ads shown in the EU, so this filter also limits results to EU-served ads — on a US-only market it returns nothing.

Type:integer | null

Minimum:0

Maximum impressions

impressionsMax

Optional

Whole number of impressions, higher than the minimum. Goes up to 1,000,000,000, the same way. EU-served ads only, same as the minimum above.

Type:integer | null

Minimum:0

Ad URLs, video URLs or search links

videoUrls

Optional

Ad Library detail URLs (linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/…), numeric ad IDs, direct video URLs (dms.licdn.com/playlist/vid/…) from any LinkedIn Ad Library scraper result — or a whole Ad Library search link (linkedin.com/ad-library/search?…), which is run as a search with the filters already in it. A direct audio or video FILE on any other host is not read here — that goes to our media transcriber (apify.com/steadyfetch/media-transcriber), pasted into its "Media URLs" field; a link here that is not a LinkedIn one comes back as an uncharged row saying so.

Type:array | null

Dataset ID (chain a scraper run)

datasetId

Optional

The default dataset ID of a finished LinkedIn Ad Library scraper run. With Apify's 'Connect actor' integration this is filled automatically — the cleanest way to chain.

Type:string | null

Dataset items (paste rows)

datasetItems

Optional

Paste rows from your Ad Library scraper run. The actor deep-scans each row for video URLs, ad detail links, and metadata — works with any scraper's output shape. Non-video rows come back as uncharged metadata rows. Leave it empty to search directly or use the other inputs instead.

Type:array | null

Watchlist name

watchlistId

Optional

A short name for the list, e.g. acme-competitors (letters, numbers and hyphens). The list lives in a named key-value store in your account called linkedin-ads-watch-<name>, so you can inspect or clear it any time. Leave empty for a one-off run — your account's memory of delivered ads still applies.

Type:string | null

New ads only

newAdsOnly

Optional

OFF (default): every ad runs as usual; an ad your account already has comes back from the earlier run, not charged (repeat: true), and every row carries isNew / firstSeenAt. ON: ads already on your watchlist — or, with no list name, already delivered to your account — are skipped before anything is fetched: not fetched, not charged, and the run's status line and OUTPUT say how many. Only an ad the actor actually answered counts (a delivered transcript, image text or on-screen text, or a final uncharged verdict such as no speech); an ad it could not answer — a blocked page, a failed fetch, an ad your cost cap left out — does not, so the next run tries it again.

Type:boolean | null

Default:false

Read the text on image ads

includeImageText

Optional

ON (default): image ads get their on-image copy read and delivered as imageText — each delivered extraction is charged like a video transcript (same event, same price; never a long-video surcharge). Image ads with no readable text are always uncharged. Most LinkedIn ads are image ads, so a keyword run charges for many more rows with this on than a video-only run did — set maxItems and the run's max total charge to match. OFF: image ads pass through uncharged with their metadata, as before.

Type:boolean | null

Default:true

Read on-screen text on silent video ads

includeOnScreenText

Optional

OFF (default): a video ad with no speech is never charged. ON: silent and music-only video ads have their on-screen text read from the video's own frames and delivered as onScreenText, charged like a transcript. Ads with no readable on-screen text stay uncharged either way. About half of LinkedIn's video ads are silent.

Type:boolean | null

Default:false

Include the remaining formats as uncharged rows

includeNonVideo

Optional

When searching by advertiser/keyword, also output one uncharged metadata row (advertiser, format, ad link) for each creative this actor does not read — document, carousel, article, message and text-only ads. Off by default.

Type:boolean | null

Default:false

Max ads to process

maxItems

Optional

Safety cap on how many ads to process in one run (every attempted video ad and image ad counts toward it, including uncharged misses; the formats above never do). Up to 10,000 per run; ask for a bigger number and the run continues at 10,000, with one uncharged row saying so. Long videos: the first 3 minutes of every video are included in the transcript price; each started minute beyond that is charged as a "Long-video minute (surcharge)" at $0.005 — only when the transcript is delivered, never on image ads or on-screen text.

Type:integer | null

Minimum:1

Default:1000
