Access Snapchat's official public Ads Library API to search for ads by advertiser name, browse all sponsored content, or find creator-sponsored posts by creator. Extracts ad creative metadata, impression data, targeting information, media download links, and sponsored content details — all from Snapchat's transparency-mandated open API with no login required.

What It Does

Three scraping modes are available:

• adSearch — search ads by advertiser name with optional filters for EU country, date range, and ad status. Returns up to 10 ads per advertiser (API limit).
• sponsoredContent — browse all publicly disclosed sponsored and branded content with full pagination support (up to 10,000 records).
• creatorSearch — find sponsored content posts associated with a specific creator username or name.

No login, cookies, or browser automation required. Uses Snapchat's official open Ads Library API (adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/ads_library) which is publicly mandated under EU digital advertising transparency regulations.

FAQ

Is this official Snapchat data? Yes. The actor uses Snapchat's official Ads Library API (adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/ads_library), publicly available without authentication under EU digital advertising transparency mandates (DSA). No scraping of private pages is involved.

Why does adSearch return only up to 10 ads? The Snapchat Ads Library API enforces a hard limit of 10 results per advertiser search request and does not support pagination in this endpoint. This is a platform constraint, not an actor limitation. Use sponsoredContent or creatorSearch mode if you need larger volumes.

Which countries are supported? EU member states only: de, fr, it, es, pl, nl, be, se, at, pt, cz, ro, hu, dk, fi, sk, bg, hr, lt, lv, lu, si, ee, el, mt, ie, cy. The UK (gb) is not currently supported by Snapchat's API and will return a 400 error if included.

Can I download the actual ad video? Yes — the mediaDownloadUrl field in ad records contains a direct CDN link to the ad creative (video or image file) that can be downloaded directly.

What does impressionsMap contain? A JSON object mapping each EU country code to its impression count for that ad. For example: {"fr": 900000, "de": 600000} means 900,000 impressions in France and 600,000 in Germany.

What is the difference between sponsoredContent and creatorSearch mode? sponsoredContent browses the full public library of all sponsored posts with pagination — useful for bulk collection. creatorSearch searches for sponsored content by a specific creator name and returns the first page of matching results. Both produce the same sponsoredContent output format.

How much data can I collect with sponsoredContent mode? The Snapchat API returns up to 200 items per page, and the actor follows pagination links automatically. You can set maxResults up to 10,000 to collect large volumes of sponsored content records.
