Documentation Overview
Google Ads Transparency Center Scraper - Competitor Ads
Every ad an advertiser runs on Google (Search, YouTube, Display, Shopping and Maps), read from the public Ads Transparency Center and delivered on the Apify platform, billed pay-per-event in USD. Built and maintained by orbots.
Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. "Google", "Google Ads" and "Ads Transparency Center" are trademarks of Google LLC. This is an independent tool that reads publicly available Ads Transparency Center data; it is not an official Google product.
Run it on Apify: https://apify.com/orbots/google-ads-transparency-scraper
What it does
- Three ways to target an advertiser: a brand name (
Nike), a domain (nike.com) or a Google advertiser ID (AR18378488041124659201). A Transparency Center URL works too. - One row per ad: format (image, text or video), preview asset, first and last shown date, days active, and a direct link to the ad in the Transparency Center.
- Region filter (ISO country codes such as
US,GB,BR): only ads shown there come back, so you are not charged for creatives you would filter out anyway. - Per-country activity on demand (
includeDetails): the countries each creative ran in, with first and last dates per country, plus every preview variation. - Advertiser check mode: one row per query saying whether the advertiser runs Google ads at all, with Google's own estimated range of active ads.
- Built for schedules: with
onlyNew: trueeach run returns only creatives you have not received before, per query and region set. - No login, no browser, no cookies. Pure HTTP against the Center's own endpoints.
- A run that delivers nothing is not charged at all, not even the start fee.

Quick start
Run from the Actor page, or call it via the Apify API and get the rows back in one request:
Add "onlyNew": true for schedules, "includeDetails": true for per-country dates, or
"outputMode": "advertisers" to screen a list of domains. Full input options, examples and
pricing are on the Actor page.
Pricing (pay-per-event)
A small start fee per run (charged only when at least one row is delivered) plus a
per-ad fee that scales down with volume, and a separate per-ad fee for includeDetails.
Exact figures are on the Actor page. Zero rows, zero cost.
