What you can do with the Facebook Ad Library API

Ad Details

GET /v1/facebook/adLibrary/ad

Pass the Ad ID and get back details about the ad. Be careful that if an ad has multiple versions, you're actually going to want to get the title from the 'cards' object. If you ask for the transcipt, we will only transcribe the video if it's under 2 minutes.

Search

GET /v1/facebook/adLibrary/search/ads

Search the Facebook (Meta) Ad Library By Keyword. This endpoint will tap out around 1,500 results, beacuse the cursor becomes too big for a GET request. If you need more results, call this endpoint as a POST, and pass the query params in the body.

Company Ads

GET /v1/facebook/adLibrary/company/ads

Get all the ads a company has running. If params become too large, make this a POST request and pass the params in the body.

Search for Companies

GET /v1/facebook/adLibrary/search/companies

Search for companies by name and get their ad library page id
