WHAT YOU GET

From a brand name to structured ad intelligence.

Monitor competitors, research creative longevity, audit advertisers, and build scheduled transparency datasets.

01 / creative

Ad identity and previews

Creative and advertiser IDs, advertiser name, domain, format, archived image or hosted preview, dimensions, and canonical Transparency Center URL.

Dates and variations

First and last shown timestamps, days shown, every published creative variation, internal grouping IDs, and per-country last-shown dates.

03 / transparency

Platforms and EU reach

Search, YouTube, Shopping, Maps, and Play filtering, plus published EU impression ranges and per-platform distribution when available.

The source does not publish ad copy, CTA text, landing-page URLs, playable video files, current-running status, or advertiser verification status.

FOR DEVELOPERS

Flexible discovery. Predictable output.

Automate research with the Apify API, JavaScript or Python clients, CLI, schedules, webhooks, or MCP integration.

A cost-controlled contract

maxResults is the hard delivered-row cap and the main cost control. Full details add variations, country reach, and EU impression data; list mode is faster.

BEFORE YOU START

A few useful answers.

Ask us a question ↗
Do I need a Google Ads account?+

No. The Actor reads the public Google Ads Transparency Center over anonymous HTTP without login, cookies, a browser, or Google Ads API access.

What can I search by?+

Use brand names, exact domains, advertiser IDs beginning with AR, or pasted Transparency Center advertiser, creative, and domain-search URLs. These inputs can be combined in one run.

How is it priced?+

Each successfully delivered creative or advertiser summary costs $0.0008, equivalent to $0.80 per 1,000. Empty searches, invalid inputs, failed lookups, duplicates, and rows already delivered on resume are not charged.

Can it return ad copy and landing pages?+

No. The public protocol does not provide ad headline, body, CTA text, landing-page URL, or raw video files. The Actor returns only fields the Transparency Center publishes.

What is EU transparency data?+

For eligible ads served in the EU, Google can publish impression ranges, first and last shown dates, and a per-platform impression split. This block is optional and is not available for every creative.
