Google Ads Transparency Center API

Look up any advertiser in the Google Ads Transparency Center (also called the Google Ads library) by name, website domain or advertiser ID, in any country, and get every creative as structured JSON.

Each ad includes format, image or YouTube links, headline, landing URL, first and last shown dates and regions, so you can monitor competitor ads without clicking through the Transparency Center by hand.
