Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Facebook Ad Library endpoint with an LLM-friendly response by default. Set llm_friendly=false to receive the full response shape.

Retrieves detailed information about a specific Facebook ad by its ID or URL. Returns adArchiveID, pageName, isActive, startDate, endDate, and a snapshot containing body, images, videos, display_format, link_url, and cta_text. For ads with multiple versions, the ad creative is found in the snapshot.cards array rather than snapshot.body.

Optional query parameters can be combined in a single request.
