Industry first

The only API with Meta brand suggestions.

Every other Ad Library scraper makes you guess the exact brand name. Ours wraps Meta's own typeahead — so partial strings, slugs and IG handles all resolve to the right Page ID, with verification, follower counts and advertiser country attached.

  ]
}

Why this matters

Resolve ambiguous brand strings, automatically

Disambiguate "shein" vs "sheinside mall", find the verified parent page when there are 12 regional clones, and feed the right Page ID into /api/v1/search in one chained call.

The same source Meta's own search box uses
Verification + advertiser country attached to every result
Page likes + IG follower count — pre-filter by reach
Cached 1h per query — repeats are free for an hour
Pipe directly into /search via page_id — zero string matching

Head to head

What only AdScrape ships today.

Eight capabilities you'd otherwise stitch together yourself — compared against the typical Meta Ad Library scraper SaaS and Meta's own Graph API.

Capability	AdScrape	Other scrapers	Meta Graph API
Meta brand typeahead	Live, sub-second	Exact strings only	Not exposed
Ads per call	Up to 500	~30–50	Capped by Graph quotas
Cursor pagination	Stateful session token	Often offset-based	Standard Graph paging
BYO proxy discount	Waives $0.025/ad	No	N/A — Meta-hosted
Cloaked CDN for creatives	Opaque /m/<token> URLs	No	No
No-code dashboard	Discover + Bookmarks + Notes	Mostly API-only	Developer only
Free tier	10 credits, no card	Trial or paid only	Requires app review
No Graph token / app review	Yes	Yes	Required

Capabilities are verifiable in the API docs. Comparison reflects publicly-available behaviour of named SaaS scrapers and Meta's Graph API as of 2026.

FAQ

Questions we get every week.

Short answers to the things people ask before signing up. More billing-specific FAQs live on the pricing page.

Is scraping Meta's Ad Library legal?

Yes. The Meta Ad Library is a public transparency tool — every ad shown there is published by Meta itself for public review. AdScrape reads the same URLs your browser does, with the same rate hygiene Meta expects. We don't touch private data, user PII or anything behind login. You're responsible for what you do with the data downstream.

How is this different from Meta's free Ad Library website?

Meta's site is a single-search browser tool — you can't programmatically paginate, you can't pull structured JSON, you can't compare brands, you can't bulk-download creatives, and you can't script anything. AdScrape gives you a clean JSON API, cursor pagination up to 500 ads / call, a no-code Discover dashboard with Bookmarks + Notes, brand typeahead, and a cloaked CDN for creatives.

Do I need to bring my own proxy?

No — every plan includes our managed proxy pool. If you want to bring your own (http / https / socks5 / socks5h all supported), you save the $0.025/ad managed-pool surcharge and pay only the base rate. Register it in Settings → Proxy, then every search and media call routes through it automatically.

Can I use AdScrape without writing any code?

Yes. Sign up and you land on Discover — a clean dashboard for Keyword Search, Brand Search and Bookmarks. Brand Search uses Meta's own typeahead so you don't have to know exact brand names, and bookmarks let you attach notes + tags to anything worth remembering. The same data is available via the REST API when you're ready to ship it into a pipeline.

Do you store the creatives or ad copy?

Yes — every ad you scrape is upserted into our shared store keyed on Meta's ad_archive_id, so subsequent searches that hit the same ad are served from cache (DB hit ≈ 50ms) instead of refetching from Meta. Creative bytes (images, video) are streamed on demand through our cloaked CDN — no on-disk caching, short-TTL signed URLs.
