Facebook & Instagram Competitor Ad Spy & Monitor

Track competitor Facebook, Instagram, and Threads advertising campaigns in seconds—with no login credentials required.

Built for Performance Marketers, DTC Brands & Creative Strategists

• Identify Proven Winning Creatives (isLongRunningWinner & activeDays):
  • Automatically calculates exact activeDays and flags ads running continuously for 30+ days (isLongRunningWinner: true) plus collationCount (how many active ad variations share the same creative).
• Stateful Cross-Run Competitor Monitoring (monitorStatus):
  • Automatically persists competitor ad snapshots in a Named Key-Value Store (meta-ads-monitor-state by default on Apify Cloud, or a custom monitorStoreName). First-time page runs establish a "baseline", and subsequent scheduled runs label newly launched creatives as "new", continuing ads as "continuing", and record recentlyStoppedByPage IDs in AD_MONITOR_STATE whenever a page's active catalog is scanned in full.
• Direct HD Creative Assets & Unwrapped Landing Funnels:
  • Extracts playable primaryVideoHdUrl (.mp4), high-resolution imageUrls, full carouselCards, ctaText, unwrapped linkUrl, and normalized linkDomain for instant landing-page funnel grouping.
• Instagram & Facebook Brand Enrichment:
  • Resolves igUsername, igFollowers, igVerified, pageLikes, pageCategory, and pageAbout—plus euTotalReach & transparency disclosures when scraping EU/UK markets (DE, FR, NL, GB, etc.).
