Facebook Ad Library EU Report

GET https://scrappa.co/api/facebook-ad-library/eu-report?section=overview&country=DE

Get one section of the regional ad transparency report. The report is published as six separate sections and each section is its own report, so section is required and each request covers exactly one upstream lookup and costs one credit. The default time range covers the full history: the report only covers social-issue, election and political advertising from October 2019 onward, so short ranges such as yesterday or the last seven days can legitimately contain no rows. Reach figures in this report are coarse display buckets rather than measured per-ad reach.

Parameters

Start with the required fields, then add optional filters only when your use case needs them.

Runnable path

1 required parameter needed before sending a request.

2 optional filters available.

section string Required

Report section to return: overview, searches, campaign-tracker, advertisers, locations or download-availability.

Example value overview
country string Optional

Two-letter ISO country code the report covers.

Example value DE
time_preset string Optional

Reporting range for the locations, advertisers and campaign-tracker sections. Defaults to LIFELONG, the full history. Short ranges may legitimately return no rows. The overview always covers the full history and echoes LIFELONG; searches and download-availability echo no range.
