Facebook Ad Library Ad Details

GET https://scrappa.co/api/facebook-ad-library/ad-details?ad_archive_id=2023741235184903&page_id=292298163958756

Get the ad details panel of one ad, as the public library shows it under "See ad details". For ads delivered in the EU this is the transparency disclosure required by the Digital Services Act: total EU reach, reach by country, age range and gender, and the targeting (locations included or excluded, gender and age range). Ads delivered in the UK carry the same block for the UK. The reach figures are exact counts, not buckets. reach_by_country[].reach is the sum of the age and gender rows of that country; one person can be reached in several countries, so these sums can add up to more than total_reach. For ads about social issues, elections or politics the response also holds the audience shares by age, gender and region. Take ad_archive_id and page_id from an ad in the search results. A block that does not apply to the ad is null. An unknown ad id returns 404 and is not billed. A single request covers one upstream lookup and costs one credit.
