LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper: Ads, Impressions, Targeting

From The Mine Works, makers of Threads Scraper and B2B Leads Finder, with over 140,000 runs across 170+ public actors.

Why choose this actor?

• Search the whole LinkedIn Ad Library the way the site does. By advertiser, keyword or "Paid for by" name, filtered by country, date range and order. Our proof run returned 240 ads from 4 searches (HubSpot, Salesforce, SAP and the keyword "cybersecurity") in 104 seconds, every one with its detail page read. No LinkedIn account, no cookies, no browser.
• The transparency data, not just the creative. With details on, each ad carries the advertiser's LinkedIn link, the legal entity that paid, the full text, the call to action, the landing page when LinkedIn shows it, the video file and document pages, and, where LinkedIn publishes them, the run dates, total impressions, impressions by country and the targeting the advertiser chose. Filtered to Germany and France, 60 of 60 ads came back with all of it.
• You pay for ads you receive, and details only when you ask for them. One charge per ad saved to your dataset, one more when its detail page was read, plus a flat start fee. Searches with no results, refused pages, an ad found twice in the same run, ad links LinkedIn cannot show and ads an earlier run already gave you (when you switch that on) are never charged.

Part of The Mine Works LinkedIn family: LinkedIn Company Scraper, LinkedIn Post Scraper, LinkedIn Employees Scraper, LinkedIn Profile Scraper, LinkedIn Email Finder, LinkedIn Newsletter Scraper.

Try it in one minute

Paste this input and press Start. It returns HubSpot's 20 newest ads with their detail pages, 20 rows, in about 15 seconds:

{
  "advertisers": ["HubSpot"],
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 20
}

You can tell the actor what to find in five ways, and mix them in one run:

• Advertisers: names as you would type them in the Ad Library's "Company or advertiser" box, such as HubSpot or Siemens. A company page link (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hubspot/) also works; its page name is searched.
• Keywords: a word or phrase from the ad text, such as CRM or webinar.
• Payers: the "Paid for by" name, such as HubSpot, Inc., to find every ad a legal entity paid for, whichever page ran it.
• Ad Library search links: copy the address bar after searching on https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/; the link runs with its own filters.
• Ad links or ids: https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/1566665103 or just 1566665103, to read single ads with their details.

Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit every month, which covers about 3,200 results at this actor's price.

Copy to your AI assistant

themineworks/linkedin-ad-library-scraper on Apify. Searches LinkedIn's public Ad Library by advertiser, keyword or payer, with country, date range and sort filters, and returns one row per ad: advertiser name, LinkedIn link and id, payer, format, headline, full text, call to action, landing page, image, video and document links, carousel cards, run dates, total impressions, impressions by country and targeting. Call ApifyClient("TOKEN").actor("themineworks/linkedin-ad-library-scraper").call(run_input={"advertisers": ["HubSpot"], "keywords": ["CRM"], "countries": ["DE", "FR"], "maxAdsPerSearch": 50}), then client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items. Give at least one of: advertisers, keywords, payers, adLibraryUrls (search links, ad links or ad ids). Optional: countries (two letter codes, default all), dateRange (all, last-30-days, current-month, current-year, last-year, custom; default all), startDate and endDate (YYYY-MM-DD, for custom), sortOrder (newest or oldest, default newest), maxAdsPerSearch (default 50, 20 to 1000), includeAdDetails (default true), onlyNewAds (default false). Skip rows that have "_type": "info". Full spec: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/themineworks~linkedin-ad-library-scraper/builds/default (Bearer TOKEN), which returns inputSchema and readme.

Key features

• 52 fields per ad: ad id and link; advertiser name, LinkedIn link, id, type and logo; payer; the member behind a thought leader ad; format; headline, full text, description, call to action and landing page; images, video, document pages, carousel cards; run dates; impressions as a range and by country; targeted and excluded languages, locations and parameters; and which search found the ad, at what position, out of how many.
• Every Ad Library filter: advertiser, keyword and payer boxes; one or many countries (all 249 the site offers); last 30 days, current month, current year, last year or a custom range; newest or oldest first.
• Up to 1,000 ads per search, 100 searches per run. LinkedIn serves 24 ads per page; the actor asks for the next pages the same way the Ad Library page does when you scroll. Our deep run read 42 pages of one keyword search and delivered 1,000 distinct ads.
• Every ad format we met: single image, video, carousel, document, article, text, spotlight, message, event and job ads, each with the fields that format has.
• Only new ads on repeat runs: switch on onlyNewAds for a schedule and each run returns, and charges, only ads no earlier run in your account delivered. In our test the second run delivered 0 ads and stopped after one request.

How to use it

Basic: one advertiser's latest ads

{
  "advertisers": ["Salesforce"],
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 100
}

You get up to 100 rows, newest first. LinkedIn matches advertiser names loosely, the same as on its own site, so a search for Salesforce also returns ads from pages such as "Salesforce Data 360" and from Salesforce executives whose posts Salesforce promotes (thought leader ads, with the member in posted_by_name). Filter on advertiser_id or paid_by when you want one exact advertiser, or search by payer, the tightest way to find one legal entity's ads.

Several advertisers and keywords at once

{
  "advertisers": ["HubSpot", "Salesforce", "SAP"],
  "keywords": ["cybersecurity"],
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 60
}

This is our proof run: 240 ads, 60 per search, all with details, in 104 seconds. Each line is its own search with its own search_query on every row. An ad that two searches both find is delivered and charged once.

Competitor ads in Europe with impressions and targeting

{
  "advertisers": ["SAP"],
  "payers": ["HubSpot, Inc."],
  "countries": ["DE", "FR"],
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 30
}

LinkedIn publishes run dates, impressions, the country split and targeting for the ads it shows in the European Union. With a German and French filter, all 60 ads in our run carried them: total impressions such as 5k-10k, the share of impressions per country, the languages and locations targeted, and which of Audience, Demographic, Company, Education, Job and Member Interests and Traits the advertiser used or excluded.

Weekly new ad alerts for a list of competitors

{
  "advertisers": ["HubSpot", "Pipedrive", "Zoho"],
  "dateRange": "last-30-days",
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 100,
  "onlyNewAds": true
}

Schedule it weekly in Apify Console (Schedules, then Add schedule). Each later run returns, and charges, only ads you have not received before, and stops a search as soon as it reaches ads you already have.

Find the longest running ads in a niche

{
  "keywords": ["webinar"],
  "dateRange": "custom",
  "startDate": "2026-09-01",
  "endDate": "2026-09-15",
  "sortOrder": "oldest",
  "maxAdsPerSearch": 50
}

The date filter keeps ads that ran during the window, and oldest first puts the ads that started earliest at the top. In our run this surfaced webinar ads that started in July 2023 and were still running in October 2026.

Read single ads you already know

{
  "adLibraryUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/1566665103",
    "1630864966",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/search?keyword=crm&countries=FI%2CSE"
  ]
}

Ad links and bare ids are read from their detail pages; search links run with the filters inside them. Our test of 10 ad links (9 formats, 1 missing id) returned 9 rows in 9 seconds, the missing one not charged.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	What it does
advertisers	array of strings	none (prefilled with ["HubSpot"])	Advertiser names as typed in the Ad Library's "Company or advertiser" box, one per line. A LinkedIn company page link is searched by its page name.
keywords	array of strings	none	Words or phrases matched against the ad text, one per line.
payers	array of strings	none	"Paid for by" names, one per line.
adLibraryUrls	array of strings	none	Ad Library search links (run with their own filters), ad detail links, or bare ad ids.
countries	array of strings	all countries	Two letter country codes (US, GB, DE...). Only ads shown in these countries.
dateRange	string	all	all, last-30-days, current-month, current-year, last-year or custom.
startDate	string	none	First day of a custom range, YYYY-MM-DD. LinkedIn's date filter covers the last 365 days; an older start is moved to the earliest day it accepts, with a warning.
endDate	string	none	Last day of a custom range, YYYY-MM-DD.
sortOrder	string	newest	newest or oldest first.
maxAdsPerSearch	integer	50	Ads to collect from each advertiser, keyword, payer or search link, 20 to 1,000.
includeAdDetails	boolean	true	Read each ad's detail page for the full text, CTA, landing page, payer, run dates, impressions and targeting. Charged as one extra event per ad.
onlyNewAds	boolean	false	Skip ads an earlier run of yours already delivered, so a scheduled run returns and charges only new ones.

Give at least one advertiser, keyword, payer or link. A completely empty input searches HubSpot as an example, so a first run always returns real rows. Country, date and order settings apply to advertiser, keyword and payer searches; a pasted search link keeps the filters inside it. Repeated lines are searched once. There is no proxy setting: the actor reads through Apify's datacenter proxy, included in the price.

What data do you get?

One row per ad. Fields marked "details" are filled when includeAdDetails is on (or for ad links), and some only where LinkedIn shows them.

The ad

• ad_id: LinkedIn's Ad Library id, stable, use it to dedupe. ad_url: the public Ad Library page of the ad.
• ad_format: single_image, video, carousel, document, article, text, spotlight, message, event, job and so on. ad_format_label: LinkedIn's own name, such as Single Image Ad. creative_type: LinkedIn's internal type, such as SPONSORED_STATUS_UPDATE.

Advertiser and payer

• advertiser_name: the page that ran the ad (for a thought leader ad, the company that promotes the member's post).
• advertiser_url (details): its LinkedIn link, https://www.linkedin.com/company/<id> for companies or a profile link for people. advertiser_id: the numeric company id.
• advertiser_type: company or person (also showcase or school when LinkedIn links one).
• advertiser_logo_url, and advertiser_subtitle, the headline line LinkedIn shows under a person advertiser's name.
• paid_by (details): the "Paid for by" entity, often the legal name (HubSpot, Inc.) or the agency that bought the media.
• posted_by_name, posted_by_url, posted_by_headline: on thought leader ads, the member whose post the company promotes.

Creative

• headline, body (the introductory text, or a message ad's message), description (the line under a headline, an article teaser or a text ad's second line), cta (Learn more, Register, Download, Sign Up...).
• body_truncated: true when the text comes from the result page, which cuts it at about 120 characters. With details, body is the full text with its line breaks.
• destination_url: where the ad sends people, when LinkedIn shows the link (carousel cards, text ads, job ads and many image ads, often with the advertiser's UTM tags).
• image_urls; video_url (details, the highest quality MP4 LinkedIn offers) and video_thumbnail_url; document_title, document_page_count, document_page_image_urls, document_manifest_url (details); carousel_cards, each with title, image_url and url; message_sender on message ads.

Run dates and impressions (details, where LinkedIn publishes them)

• first_shown, last_shown: the "Ran from ... to ..." dates, YYYY-MM-DD. A last_shown of yesterday or today usually means the ad is still running.
• impressions_range as LinkedIn shows it (< 1k, 1k-5k, 10k-20k...), with impressions_min and impressions_max as numbers.
• impressions_by_country: each country with country, country_code, share_pct and share_text. LinkedIn shows a share under 1% as < 1%; that comes back as share_pct 0 with the exact label in share_text.

Targeting (details, where LinkedIn publishes it)

• targeting_languages, targeting_languages_excluded, targeting_locations, targeting_locations_excluded: the lists LinkedIn prints, including the ones hidden behind "N others".
• targeting_parameters: Audience, Demographic, Company, Education, Job and Member Interests and Traits, each with targeted and excluded true or false. targeted_parameters and excluded_parameters list the names that are true.
• targeting_other: any further targeting section LinkedIn adds, by name.

Search and run fields

• has_details and detail_status (ok, not_requested, unavailable when LinkedIn cannot load the ad, failed when it refused every try).
• search_type (advertiser, keyword, payer, search_url or ad_url), search_query, search_url, search_total_ads (how many ads LinkedIn said matched), position (1 is the first result) and scraped_at.

See the FAQ for how often LinkedIn publishes run dates, impressions and targeting, and how to get them on every row.

Media links are LinkedIn's own signed CDN links. Save the files you need soon after the run.

Stable fields for automations

These fields were present in every one of the 269 rows of our final test runs (240 ads with details, 20 without, 9 from ad links):

Field	What it holds
ad_id	LinkedIn Ad Library id of the ad
ad_url	Public Ad Library page of the ad
advertiser_name	Page that ran the ad
advertiser_type	company or person
ad_format	Format code such as single_image or video
ad_format_label	LinkedIn's name for the format
creative_type	LinkedIn's internal creative type
image_urls	Images of the creative (an empty list for video, document and message ads)
body_truncated	True when the text is the shortened result page text
has_details	Whether the detail page was read
detail_status	ok, not_requested, unavailable or failed
search_type	How the ad was found
search_query	The advertiser, keyword, payer or link that found it
scraped_at	When the row was collected

These names will not change. Other fields appear only when the ad has them: a video ad has video_url and no headline, a message ad has message_sender, and the run dates, impressions and targeting appear only where LinkedIn publishes them.

Output examples

Real rows from our runs on 6 October 2026, trimmed: long texts are cut where marked, signed media links end in ?e=..., logo links are left out.

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay for each ad delivered to your dataset, one more event for each ad whose detail page was read, plus a flat $0.005 per run, whatever memory you choose. Nothing else is billed: no proxy add-on, no charge per search or per page.

Event	Free plan	Bronze (Starter)	Silver (Scale)	Gold (Business) and above
Ad delivered, per 1,000 ads	$1.49	$1.29	$0.99	$0.79
Ad details read, per 1,000 ads (only with details on)	$1.49	$1.29	$0.99	$0.79
Run start, once per run	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005

Never charged: searches LinkedIn finds nothing for, pages LinkedIn refuses on every attempt, an ad that a second search in the same run finds again, ads an earlier run already delivered when onlyNewAds is on, ad links LinkedIn cannot load, the detail event on any row whose detail page failed (that row is charged as an ad only), and the information row at the end of a run. A run that delivers nothing costs only the start fee.

To cap a run's cost, set Maximum cost per run in the run options; the actor stops delivering, and charging, when that budget is used.

FAQ

What is the LinkedIn Ad Library?

LinkedIn's public archive of ads that ran on LinkedIn, at https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/. Anyone can search it by advertiser, keyword, payer, country and date, and open each ad's page. This actor runs those searches and reads those pages for you, then returns one clean row per ad.

How many ads can I get?

Up to 1,000 per search and up to 100 searches per run. LinkedIn serves 24 ads per page and keeps serving pages as you scroll; our deep run read 42 pages of one search for 1,000 distinct ads. A search with fewer matching ads returns what it has. The minimum is 20 per search, about one page, which keeps the start fee in proportion to what you receive.

Why do only some ads have run dates, impressions and targeting?

Because LinkedIn publishes that block only for some ads. In our proof run without a country filter 86 of 240 ads had it; filtered to Germany and France, 60 of 60 had it. LinkedIn shows it for ads served in the European Union, so add EU country codes to countries when you need these fields on every row. Ads without it still carry the creative, the advertiser and the payer.

What does "Include ad details" add, and is it worth it?

The result pages show the creative with the text cut at about 120 characters. The detail page adds the full text, call to action, landing page, advertiser link and id, payer, video file, document pages and the transparency block above. It is one extra request per ad; our 240 ad run with details took 104 seconds. Turn it off for a quick list of which ads exist.

How fresh is the data?

Live. Every run reads the Ad Library at that moment. last_shown is the latest day LinkedIn reports the ad ran, usually yesterday or today for ads still running.

Do I need a LinkedIn account, cookies or an API key?

No. The actor never logs in and never asks for your cookies. It uses only the pages LinkedIn's Ad Library shows to any visitor.

Do I need my own proxy?

No. Requests go through Apify's datacenter proxy, a new session for every request, and that is included in the price. LinkedIn's front door refuses a small share of requests (17 of 269 in our proof run); each refused page is tried again on a new session, up to 4 times for result pages and 3 for detail pages. All 240 ads in that run came back with their details.

What happens with a wrong name or a broken link?

A search with no results is reported in the run summary as no_results and costs nothing. A line in adLibraryUrls that is not an Ad Library link is skipped with a warning that says why, and an ad id LinkedIn cannot load is reported as unavailable and not charged. The rest of the run continues.

Can I monitor competitors for new ads?

Yes. Schedule the actor in Apify Console (Schedules, then Add schedule) with onlyNewAds on. Each run returns, and charges, only ads no earlier run of yours delivered. Keep the default newest first order so each search stops as soon as it reaches ads you already have.

In what formats can I export the data?

From the dataset: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS, from Console or the API. In CSV and Excel the list fields (image_urls, impressions_by_country, targeting_parameters and the rest) are flattened into columns.

Can I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant?

Yes, through Apify's MCP server.

Is it legal to scrape the LinkedIn Ad Library?

The actor collects only what LinkedIn publishes in its public Ad Library for anyone to see, and it does not log in or bypass any login. You are responsible for how you use the data: check LinkedIn's terms for your use case and the data protection laws that apply to you, such as GDPR and CCPA, especially for the names of people who appear as advertisers, thought leaders or message senders.

Integrations

• Google Sheets: send each run's dataset to a sheet with Apify's Google Sheets integration, one row per ad.
• Make, Zapier and n8n: start a run and read its dataset with the Apify apps and nodes, for example to post new competitor ads to Slack.
• Webhooks: have Apify call your URL when a run finishes, then fetch the dataset.
• API: start runs and read results from any language with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients (see "Copy to your AI assistant" above).
• MCP clients: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code, through the connector URL in the FAQ.
