Retrieves detailed information about a specific LinkedIn ad by URL. Returns id, description, headline, adType, advertiser, and targeting with language, location, and audience criteria. Also includes totalImpressions, impressionsByCountry, adDuration, startDate, and endDate. Date and impression fields are nullable when LinkedIn does not expose them on the public ad page.

  • Provider: ScrapeCreators
  • Job: Ad linkedin (linkedin.ad)
  • Price: $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
url string yes Example: “https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/666281156”

Output

Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

{ id, cta, url, image, video, adType, poster, endDate, success, headline, startDate, targeting: {}, adDuration, advertiser, promotedBy, description, landingPage, posterTitle, organicVideo, preRollVideo, advertiserLogo, carouselImages: unknown[], destinationUrl, credits_charged, totalImpressions, credits_remaining, preRollAdvertiser, impressionsByCountry: unknown[], sponsoredMessageSender, sponsoredMessageButtons: unknown[], sponsoredMessageSenderAvatar }

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-linkedin-ad","input":{"url":"<url>"},"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-linkedin-ad",
    input: {
      url: "<url>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "scrapecreators-linkedin-ad",
        "input": {
            "url": "<url>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:linkedin.ad as endpointId; see the job page.
