Press “Run free” and the real result shows up here, exactly what your agent gets back.

How it works

Live data, not a stale list.

The Ad Library is public, but reading it means scrolling through cards one at a time. Here you get the same ads as a list you can sort, compare, save as a swipe file or hand to your AI for analysis.

A keyword search matches the words in the ads, not the advertiser’s industry. That is great for finding angles and offers, and it means some results come from brands you did not expect. With an API key you can also search one advertiser by its Page ID.

Every result has

  • Advertiser name and Page, with a link to the ad
  • Ad text, headline, call to action and landing page link
  • Start date, end date and whether the ad is still running
  • Platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger …) and image or video links
