No login required · Real-time data from the Meta Ad Library · Keyword, brand, and page searches supported

Need more than a quick scrape?

Eachspy's Ad Spy already indexes millions of Facebook and Instagram ads, enriched with what the Ad Library alone can't show: estimated spend, landing-page platform (Shopify, ClickBank, Digistore24...), advertiser history, and export quotas built for real research.

How to Scrape the Facebook Ad Library

1

Search, then paste the URL

Run any search on the Facebook Ad Library and paste the URL here - country, status, and media filters carry over. Or simply type a keyword.

2

Preview every matching ad

Ads load straight from Facebook's servers into a sortable table - creative, copy, dates, platforms, CTA, and landing page for each ad. Keep clicking Load more to fetch further pages.

3

Export to CSV

One click downloads everything you've loaded as a clean CSV - ready for Excel, Google Sheets, or your outreach and research workflow.

What's in the CSV Export

Every exported row is one ad from the Meta Ad Library, with the fields marketers actually use for competitor research and outreach lists:

Library ID Page name & ID Active status Start & end dates Ads using this creative Platforms (Facebook, Instagram...) Ad format CTA type Headline & ad text Landing page URL Image URLs Video URLs

The file opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets. Media columns hold direct links to each creative; to save a single ad's video in HD, use the free Facebook Ad Video Downloader instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Facebook Ad Library Scraper work?

Search the Facebook Ad Library for any keyword or brand, copy the URL from your browser, and paste it here — or just type a keyword directly. We fetch the matching ads in real time from Facebook and list them in a table you can export to CSV.

What is a Facebook Ad Library search URL?

Go to facebook.com/ads/library, pick a country, and search for a keyword or brand. The address bar will show a URL like facebook.com/ads/library/?country=US&q=your+keyword. Paste that whole URL here and we replicate the exact same search, including your country, active status, and media type filters.

Can I scrape all ads from a specific Facebook page?

Yes. In the Ad Library, open the advertiser's page (See ads / View all ads) and paste the URL — it contains view_all_page_id. We'll list that page's ads, including inactive ones.

Can I filter scraped ads by country, status, or media type?

Yes. Set the country, active status, and media type on facebook.com/ads/library before copying the URL — the scraper replicates those filters exactly. A keyword typed directly here searches active ads across all countries.

What data does each exported row contain?

Library ID, page name and page ID, active status, start and end dates, number of ads using the same creative, platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network, Messenger), ad format, CTA type, headline, ad text, landing page URL, plus direct image and video URLs.

How do I export the results to CSV or Excel?

Click Export CSV above the results table. The file downloads instantly in your browser and opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers — with UTF-8 encoding so emojis and non-English ad copy stay intact.

Is the scraper free? Are there limits?

Yes, it's free with no registration. Each search loads up to about 150 ads (5 pages of results). For bigger exports, spend estimates, and filters like landing-page platform or affiliate network, use the Eachspy Ad Spy dashboard.

Do I need to install a Chrome extension?

No. Everything runs online — no browser extension, no Apify actor to rent, no code, and no Facebook login or cookies required.

Is it legal to scrape the Facebook Ad Library?

The Ad Library is Facebook's public ad transparency tool, and all data shown here is already public. Exporting it for competitor research, ad inspiration, or market analysis is common practice — just don't republish someone else's creatives as your own.

Why is the number of ads different from what Facebook shows?

Facebook groups ads that share the same creative. We list each grouped ad with its collation count, so the total row count can differ slightly from the number Facebook displays at the top of its results.

Can I also download the ad videos and images?

The CSV includes direct media URLs you can open or download. For one-click downloads of a single ad's videos and images in HD, use our free Facebook Ad Video Downloader tool.
