With country, they count only the ads shown there. - An advertiser is named by its AR ID. A website or a brand name is not an advertiser: find one by name with the Google Ads Transparency Center Advertiser Search API. - The center shows no bio, picture, followers or links for an advertiser, so those fields are null or empty. - For an election advertiser, platform_specific.google.election.ad_count can be far above metrics.post_count: the center keeps election ads in its political archive after they leave the all-topics view the ad count reads. ## 1 credit per request.
