Step-by-step: Ad library aggregation

GET
/v1/facebook/adlibrary/ad

Returns one ad from the Facebook Ad Library: creative, CTA and link, run dates, display format, and the advertiser's page URL, likes and categories.

Use it when you have an ad id or URL. Spend and reach are political-ads-only, and Facebook publishes no per-ad impression count.

50 credits per call.

Authorization

Query Parameters

id?string

Facebook Ad Library ad ID. Ad ids rotate as campaigns end, so take a current one from /v1/facebook/adlibrary/company/ads or /v1/facebook/adlibrary/search/ads rather than reusing an old one. Provide at least one of: id, url.

url?string

Facebook Ad Library URL for the ad (https://www.facebook.com/ads/library?id=...). A page URL is rejected with a 400. Provide at least one of: id, url.

trim?boolean

Set to true for a trimmed down version of the response

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
