Snapchat Ads Scraper

Snapchat Ads Scraper extracts commercial ads from Snapchat's Ads Gallery — the EU-mandated transparency archive covering ads shown to users across 27 European countries. It accepts an advertiser name and returns ad ID, advertiser name, brand, ad account, headline, call to action, total and country-specific impression counts, ad type, creative type, campaign start date, review status, and media URLs where available.

Tips

• Search by legal entity name — Ads are indexed under the paying advertiser's legal name (e.g., "Nike, Inc." not "Nike"). If you get 0 results, try variations or check the Ads Gallery directly.
• Date filters use activity period, not start date — startDate/endDate returns ads active during that window, not ads that started within it.
• mediaUrl is available for DYNAMIC-type ads only — VIDEO, IMAGE, and LENS_PACKAGE types do not expose direct media URLs via the Ads Gallery.
• For 1,000+ ads, request in batches — Keep maxItems at 200–500 per run to avoid partial results from API rate limits.

FAQ

Why EU countries only? Snapchat's Ads Gallery exists under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), which requires large platforms to publish a searchable ad archive for ads shown to EU users.

How far back does the data go? The Ads Gallery covers approximately the last 12 months.

Do I need a Snapchat account? No. All data is publicly accessible without authentication.

What if I get 0 results? Try the advertiser's full legal name (e.g., "adidas AG" instead of "Adidas"), or search in a different country where the brand may have more activity.

Limitations

• EU countries only (27 member states)
• Last 12 months of ad data
• mediaUrl populated only for DYNAMIC-type ads
• Large requests may return partial results due to API rate limits
• No campaign end date available (API limitation)
