# Google Ads Transparency Center Advertiser Search API. Advertisers matching your search. Advertisers by name, with IDs and ad counts. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes. [Get API key](https://socialtap.dev/signup/?next=%2Fplayground%2F%3Fendpoint%3Dgoogle.search_advertisers) ## Google Ads Transparency Center Advertiser Search API at a glance Returns the Google Ads Transparency Center advertisers whose name matches a query, every match rather than the search box's first ten. Each advertiser has its AR ID (the one its ads and page use), name, country, verification and ad count as Google's range. Filter to advertisers whose ads ran in one country, with their counts there, and sort by Google's order or most ads first.

For a very broad query (a single letter) that is not every match, so a larger advertiser further down Google's order is not ranked. A brand's name ranks all of its advertisers. - Ad counts are Google's ranges (thousands are bucketed): metrics.post_count is the lower bound, listed in approximate_fields, and platform_specific.google.ads has both bounds. With country, they count only the ads shown there. - Only advertisers are returned. The Google Ads Transparency Center Search Suggestions API also returns the websites the center's search box suggests, and the Google Ads Transparency Center Ads by Website API finds a website's ads by its domain. - A query matches names, not IDs: an advertiser's ID finds nothing, and a link is searched as words, which match no name. Send an ad's or an advertiser's link to the endpoint that takes it. Another Ads Transparency Center page (a domain search) is refused. ## 1 credit per page. Failed requests are free.
