Meta Ads Page Scraper

Meta Ads Page Scraper finds Facebook advertiser Pages by name, or browses every public ad from a known Page ID in Meta Ad Library, with optional per-ad detail enrichment.

Use this Actor to work with a specific advertiser in Meta Ad Library. Pick a function: find an advertiser Page (and its Page ID) by brand or company name, or browse every public ad from a Page ID you already have.

It is built for competitor tracking, page-level ad libraries, and recurring watchlists. Browsed ads can be enriched with full details.

What is Meta Ad Library?

Meta Ad Library is Meta's public ad transparency database. It lists ads running across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Audience Network, including the advertiser page, media, and active status. You can browse it at https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/ without a Facebook login.

What data can I extract with Meta Ads Page Scraper?

Meta Ads Page Scraper extracts the following data from Meta Ad Library:

• Ad identity - Ad archive IDs, page IDs, advertiser references, and dataset records for each returned ad.
• Advertiser and page data - Facebook page IDs, matching advertiser pages, and page-level records returned by page search and page browsing modes.
• Ad creative and performance - Ad status, start and end dates, publisher platforms, currency, spend and reach estimates, and the creative snapshot (body, title, call to action, images, and videos).
• Enriched ad details - When enrichment is enabled, each ad row also includes the full ad-details payload for that ad.

You can collect all of this without an API key, rate limits, or code.

How can I use Meta Ad Library data?

• Competitor ad research - Monitor competitor creatives, messages, offers, landing pages, and advertiser activity across Meta platforms.
• Market research - Track how brands position products, which categories are active, and how campaign messaging changes by country or season.
• Ad intelligence - Build datasets for creative analysis, copywriting research, campaign monitoring, and paid social reporting.
• Lead generation - Find active advertisers and pages that are currently investing in Meta ads.
• AI and analytics workflows - Export structured ad data to train classifiers, enrich internal dashboards, or feed automated research agents.
