Meta's Ad Library API needs identity verification, and outside the EU and UK it only returns ads about social issues, elections or politics. - ### No approval to wait for One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect. - ### Anything public Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app. - ### No daily quota You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop. ## Call the Facebook Ad Library API from your code. Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

[Contact us](mailto:support@socialtap.dev) **Where do I find an ad's Library ID?** In the ad's Ad Library link (facebook.com/ads/library/?id=…) or under "Library ID" on its card. Every ad the Facebook Ad Library Search API returns carries it as id, and the official Ad Library API's ad_snapshot_url has it too. **How do I get an advertiser's ads?** Send its id, username or url as handle to the Facebook Ad Library Advertiser Ads API. **Do ads that stopped running work?** Yes, active or inactive, as long as Meta still serves the ad's video. ## Try it on a Facebook Ad Library link you have.
