When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Facebook/Meta Ad Library data for one or more brand pages, especially for competitive intelligence, ad monitoring, or marketing research. It is ideal when you want to programmatically access ad creatives, audience details, or historical/inactive ads that are publicly visible on the Meta Ad Library. Prefer this over manual browsing or generic web scrapers because it returns normalized, structured data and supports bulk URL inputs with fine-grained filters.

Side effects

Invalid or inaccessible Facebook/Meta Ad Library URL returns an error or empty dataset
Rate limiting or bot detection by Facebook may cause incomplete results
Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance for x402) blocks the call
Actor run timeout if resultsLimit is very large or pages have many ads
Missing required fields (startUrls or activeStatus) causes validation error
Private or removed pages return no results
