02 / Run your own query

From a console, code or agent.

Use Apify's input form, or start a run with your own API token. The small starter input below was checked against build 1.1.1's published input schema on September 9, 2026. Recorded samples can use different inputs or older builds.

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/openclawai~meta-ad-library-scraper/runs?maxTotalChargeUsd=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["https://www.facebook.com/nike"],"country":"US","maxAdsPerQuery":5,"activeStatus":"ACTIVE"}'

This starts an asynchronous paid run with a $1 total run cap. Use the returned defaultDatasetId to retrieve results after the run succeeds. Never put your API token in public frontend code.

04 / Know before you run

Coverage, without the guesswork.

Not a Meta Marketing API. Spend and impression ranges appear only on ads Meta classifies as political or issue ads; other ads carry creative and date fields.

How much does it cost to scrape Meta Ad Library ads?

This scraper charges $0.005 per ad row, so 1,000 Facebook or Instagram ads cost $5. There is no start fee and no Meta developer token; the actor reads the public Ad Library through residential proxies included in the price. Apify platform usage may apply.

Does it return ad spend and impressions?

Yes where Meta publishes them. Political and issue ads carry spend and impression ranges plus demographic breakdowns; commercial ads carry creative, dates, platforms and days active, because Meta does not disclose their spend.
