Meta Ad Library.
Search Meta's official Ad Library for competitor ads: the ad text, who runs it, how long it has been running and the EU or UK reach, as a CSV, Excel or JSON file. Coming soon.
What you get.
One row for every ad. This is an example with sample data.
| Advertiser | Ad text | Running | Platforms | EU reach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAMPLE Acme Shoes | Run faster with Acme... | 75 days | Facebook, Instagram | 12,300 |
| SAMPLE Beta Trainers | New season, free delivery... | 9 days | 4,800 | |
| SAMPLE Gamma Sports | Join the club today... | 21 days | 8,150 |
Three steps.
Enter a keyword or advertiser
A brand name, a phrase or a Facebook Page ID, and the countries.
Start the run
It asks Meta's official Ad Library API.
Read the ads
See what competitors run, and which ads have been live the longest.
Pay per ad.
One ad uses one credit. New accounts get free starting credits. The price for more credits will be announced before the public launch.
Coming soon. Needs an identity-verified Meta account first.

Which ads can it find?
Meta decides: political and social-issue ads worldwide, and any ad that was shown in the EU or UK. Ordinary ads shown only in the US, Canada or other countries are not in Meta's API, so a search there finds nothing.
Why is it not open yet?
It uses Meta's official API, which needs a Meta account that confirmed its identity. We are setting this up, so the app is not open to customers yet. The rows above are samples.
Does it scrape Facebook?
No. It uses only Meta's official Ad Library API. No proxies and no login tricks.
What does 60 days or more mean?
Ads that have run for 60 days or more are marked, because advertisers usually stop ads that do not pay. It is a hint, not a promise.
How much will it cost?
New accounts get free starting credits. One ad uses one credit. The price is not set yet.
