## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

Example prompt: Pull all active Facebook ads from the Meta Ads Library for Nike in the United States and show me their ad creatives and copy.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Facebook/Meta Ads Library data — especially for competitive ad research, creative intelligence, or monitoring what ads a brand is running — without managing your own scraper or dealing with Meta's restrictive official API. Best for one-off or pay-per-use queries where a subscription-based ad intelligence tool is overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Advertiser name or page ID not found — returns empty results or error
- Facebook Ads Library access restrictions for certain ad categories (e.g. political ads) may limit data
- Rate limiting or scraping blocks from Meta may cause failed or incomplete responses
- Invalid country code or unsupported filter parameters may return errors
- Service downtime or upstream scraping failure returns non-200 response

## How this service works

1,200+ scraping and data APIs behind one key. Pay per request in real dollars. No subscriptions, nothing monthly, nothing to cancel.

## Output

Returns a JSON payload containing a list of ads from the Facebook Ads Library matching the query, including ad creative details, ad copy, advertiser information, active/inactive status, estimated reach, spend range, and dates the ads started and stopped running.
