GET
/v1/facebook/adlibrary/ad/transcript

Returns the spoken words of a Facebook Ad Library video ad, from Facebook's captions when available or transcribed from the video itself.

Use it when you need what an ad says out loud; adlibrary/ad returns the creative and spend but not the speech.

200 credits per call.

Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Facebook Ad Library URL for the ad. A page URL is rejected with a 400. Provide at least one of: id, url.

Adlibrary › Ad GET

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. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.
