LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper

📢 LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper

Turn the public LinkedIn Ad Library into clean, structured rows. Search by company, keyword or payer (or paste Ad Library URLs) and get the full ad copy, headline, call to action, destination URL, creatives, run dates, impression ranges, country split and targeting for every ad. No LinkedIn account, no cookies, pay only for the ads you save.

✨ Why use LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper?

• 🔓 No login — reads the public Ad Library only; your LinkedIn account is never involved.
• 🧾 Full ad records — copy, headline, CTA, landing page, payer, run dates, impressions, per-country reach and targeting from each ad's detail page.
• 🎞️ Every format — single image, video, carousel and multi-image, document, text, event, message (InMail), follow-company, article, spotlight and jobs ads, with media URLs.
• 🔎 All Ad Library filters — countries, date ranges or custom dates, impression ranges and targeting categories, plus a format filter applied before any detail page is opened.
• 🧮 Batch-friendly — many companies, keywords and payers in one run, per-search caps, and ads de-duplicated across searches so you never pay twice for the same ad.
• 💸 Simple pricing — one flat price per saved ad.

🎯 Use cases

• 🕵️ Competitor ad monitoring — see which creatives, offers and CTAs a competitor is running on LinkedIn right now and how long they keep them live.
• 📈 B2B marketing research — compare messaging, formats and impression ranges across an industry or a keyword.
• 🧲 Lead generation — find companies actively advertising on LinkedIn (and who pays for their ads) as warm prospects for agencies and SaaS sales teams.
• 🌍 Market entry research — check which advertisers target a country and how their reach splits across countries.
• 🛡️ Compliance and brand safety — track ads that mention your brand or run under a given payer.

💰 Pricing

You pay $1.00 per 1,000 ads saved ($0.001 per ad), the same with or without detail pages. 1,000 ads ≈ $1.00 in ad fees. Platform usage (compute and residential proxy traffic) is billed separately at the normal rates and is small for this actor: it reads plain HTML pages with 256 MB of memory.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal? The actor reads only the public LinkedIn Ad Library, which LinkedIn publishes for ad transparency. You are responsible for how you use the data, including any personal data in ads run by individuals.

Do I need a LinkedIn account or proxy? No account and no cookies. Residential exits are selected by default because LinkedIn refuses most datacenter IPs; the traffic is small (pages are compressed, well under 50 KB per ad).

How many ads can I get? As many as the Ad Library lists for your searches, within the last 12 months. Each search pages through LinkedIn's results until it runs out or reaches your limits.

Why are run dates, impressions or targeting empty for some ads? LinkedIn shows those details only for some ads (mainly ads shown in the EU). When the Ad Library does not display a value, the field is null or an empty list.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Save your input as a task, schedule it, and read the dataset through the API or integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• 📅 The LinkedIn Ad Library covers roughly the last 12 months of ads.
• 🌐 Run dates, impressions and targeting appear only where LinkedIn publishes them.
• 🔗 Destination URLs are taken from the ad preview; message ads and some formats only show button labels.
• 🏢 Employer-brand pages that LinkedIn sometimes mixes into searches are not returned.
• 🎬 Media URLs are signed by LinkedIn and expire after a while; download them soon if you need copies.
