Google Ads Transparency Center Advertiser Ads API. Ads, page by page.

Advertiser's ads by format, service and date. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Returns the ads one advertiser ran on Google Search, YouTube, Maps, Play and Shopping, from the Ads Transparency Center, by advertiser ID or link. Each ad has its format, image, first and last day shown and days shown, with the advertiser's name and verification. Filter by country, format, service and dates, or list only election ads, which add their countries and Google's impressions and spend ranges and sort by impressions or spend. Ads come most recently shown first.

One schema on 4 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

Null means unknown
A field Google Ads Transparency Center doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
The advertiser: its Ads Transparency Center ID (AR…) or its page link (adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR…), in any case.
Write one parser
Google Ads Transparency Center, TikTok Ad Library, Facebook Ad Library and LinkedIn Ad Library answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring: Library owner's platform ID (facebook for Meta's library, tiktok, google, linkedin).
idstring: Library ad ID (string).
urlstring: Public library page of the ad.
advertiserobject: The advertising page, business or account.
paid_bystring: Disclosed payer ("Paid for by").
is_activeboolean: True while the ad is running.
first_shown_atstring: First delivery, RFC 3339 UTC (often date-only: see approximate_fields).
last_shown_atstring: Last delivery, RFC 3339 UTC; null while active.

What teams build with the Google Ads Transparency Center Advertiser Ads API.

Monitor a competitor's Google ads as they launch
Count an advertiser's ads by format or service
Track a campaign's election ads, spend and reach

Good to know before you build.

Each ad is the center's preview: the first variation's image (none for text, video and HTML5 ads), without regions, services, payer or targeting. The Google Ads Transparency Center Ad API returns those for one ad.
Impressions, spend and countries come only with election ads: topic=political lists them and needs a country.
The center filters by date only within the last year. A since older than that, or an until without since, is filtered on our side through the whole list, most recently shown first, so a page can come back empty while the walk reaches the window. Such pages are free.
is_active is null because the center shows no status: last_shown_at says when the ad last ran.

1 credit per page. Failed requests are free.

Buy credits once and spend them on any endpoint, on any platform.

Plans and packs How this endpoint is priced How credits work

Source	Price per successful page	Per 1,000 pages
Platform API `api`	1 credit	$0.75–$1.97

Cache hits are free.
Credits from packs and top-ups never expire.
A monthly plan's credits are spent first, and what is left of them ends at each renewal.
Prices exclude tax: sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.
Outside the US, plans and packs are sold to businesses: checkout asks for your VAT, GST or other business tax ID.
