Search the Meta ad library.

Output
Each provider answers in its own shape. Shape of the run’s result from scrapecreators-facebook-ads-search, checked against 1 real answer:
{ cursor, success, searchResults: { url, ad_id, spend, page_id, currency, end_date, fev_info, snapshot: { body: { ... }, cards: { ... }[], event, title, byline, images: { ... }[], videos: unknown[], caption, page_id, cta_text, cta_type, link_url, page_name, extra_links: unknown[], extra_texts: unknown[], is_reshared, extra_images: unknown[], extra_videos: unknown[], brazil_tax_id, display_format, additional_info, branded_content, ec_certificates: unknown[], page_categories: string[], page_is_deleted, page_like_count, country_iso_code, disclaimer_label, link_description, page_profile_uri, root_... ...
The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-facebook-ads-search prints all of it.
Run it
Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.
Example input with placeholder values:
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
