ScrapeCreators tool scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-search-ads-post on looot: input fields, $0.00188 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Searches the Meta Ad Library by keyword and returns matching ads. Supports filtering by language with a 2-letter code such as EN or ES. Each result includes ad_archive_id, page_name, is_active, publisher_platform, and a snapshot with body text, images, videos, and cta_text. Both GET and POST are supported. Use GET for normal requests. If the cursor becomes too large after extensive pagination, use POST and send the same parameters in the JSON body.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-search-ads-post prints its fields.

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)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-search-ads-post","input":{"query":"<query>"},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "scrapecreators-facebook-adlibrary-search-ads-post",
    input: {
      query: "<query>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
