Google Ads Transparency Scraper: competitor ads by brand, domain or advertiser ID

Export the ads any company runs on Google Search, Display, YouTube and Shopping, taken from Google's public Ads Transparency Center. You don't need a login, cookies or a browser. You pay $0.80 per 1,000 ads, with no start fee.

What you can do with it

• Spy on competitors' ads: see every creative a brand is running right now and how long each one has been live.
• Find long-running ads: filter on daysActive. An ad that has run for years is usually one that converts.
• Lead generation: check which domains advertise on Google, and in which countries.
• Monitor ads: schedule a daily run and diff the creativeId values to spot new ads.

Input

Field	What it does
searchQueries	Brand names, e.g. nike. Each name is matched to the advertiser account running the most ads. Use maxAdvertisersPerQuery to include more accounts.
domains	Landing domains, e.g. hubspot.com. Returns ads from every advertiser that points to that domain.
advertiserIds	Exact AR… IDs copied from an Ads Transparency Center URL.
region	Country filter, 59 countries or anywhere.
adFormat	all, text, image or video.
maxAdsPerTarget	Maximum ads per name, domain or ID. Defaults to 40; the form is prefilled with 10 for a quick test.
includeDetails	Optional add-on: legal advertiser name, the countries each ad was shown in (with last-shown date) and variation previews.

Tips and limits

• Big brands often run several advertiser accounts (one per country or reseller). Raise maxAdvertisersPerQuery, or use domains to catch all of them.
• Some text and video ads come with a previewUrl (Google's render script) instead of a static imageUrl. Open adUrl to see the ad itself.
• The data is only what Google publishes in the Transparency Center. Spend and impressions are not public outside political ads.
• This Actor is not affiliated with Google. It reads only public, company-level ad data, with no personal data.
