/v1/google/ads/search25 creditsSearch Google Ads Transparency Center creatives by advertiser ID or verified domain.
Retrieve creative IDs, advertiser names, target domains, formats, media URLs, available preview HTML, and first- and last-shown dates. Filter by region, creative format, or an overlapping date window, then page through the results.
Format and date filters apply to each returned page. The platform and political parameters do not filter results; the filters_applied object reports which filters were applied.
Illustrative request and response using placeholder advertiser data. Replace example.com with a verified advertiser domain when testing.
advertiser_id / query | required | At least one required. Provide an advertiser ID or a verified domain such as nike.com. Resolve brand names through Search Advertisers first. |

}Track the creatives an advertiser runs by domain or advertiser ID. Store scheduled snapshots of creative IDs, formats, media, and run dates to identify newly observed ads and changes in messaging. Build review queues and competitive reports from the data your application collects.
Build a searchable library of text, image, and video creatives with links to their Transparency Center records. Inspect rendered size variations and run dates to compare campaign assets, organise examples, and give creative teams a reference for further research.
Use fuzzy advertiser searches to surface misspelled names and look-alike domains, including advertisers operating under unrelated names. Review the returned similarity scores, domains, and creatives to investigate possible impersonation. A similar name or domain is a review signal, not proof of misuse.
Compare Google's disclosed political-ad spend across selected regions and date windows. Visualise daily spend and spend share by creative format, and link the results to advertiser records. Keep missing disclosures separate from zero spend in your reporting.

See why developers choose ScrapeBadger for reliable, structured web data.
“We switched from the official Twitter API and cut our costs by 95%. The pagination is seamless, and we've never hit a rate limit. Best decision we made this year.”
“The follower and engagement endpoints are incredibly detailed. We use it for influencer research and competitor analysis. Response times are sub-100ms consistently.”
“Started with the Apify actor, then moved to the API for more control. The 1,000 free credits were enough to build our MVP. Now processing 2M+ tweets monthly.”
“Perfect for academic research. The community and trends endpoints give us data we couldn't get anywhere else. Documentation could use more examples, but support is responsive.”
“We monitor 50,000+ accounts for our clients. ScrapeBadger handles it without breaking a sweat. The bulk ID endpoints are a game-changer for large-scale monitoring.”
“The geo and trends endpoints power our location-based analytics. Setup took 10 minutes. Their Apify actors are also great for quick one-off scrapes.”
