Pricing

This actor uses Pay-Per-Result pricing — you only pay for ads actually scraped. $3.00 per 1,000 ads on the free plan.

Tips for best results

• Use residential proxies for maximum coverage — without proxies Meta limits results heavily
• Set adStatus to active to focus only on currently running campaigns
• Sort by impressions using an Ad Library URL to find the highest-performing ads first
• Use maxResults: -1 carefully — popular keywords can return thousands of ads

Limitations

• Spend and impressions data is only available for EU/political/special category ads — Meta does not expose this for standard commercial ads
• Media URLs (images, videos) are temporary CDN links — download them promptly after scraping
• Results may vary without proxy configuration
