Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQueries	array	Enter keywords to search for in the Ad Library (e.g. "shopify", "running shoes"). Each keyword runs a separate search. Safety cap: up to 20 total search/page/Ads Library URL tasks per run.
pageUrls	array	Enter Facebook Page URLs to scrape ads from specific advertisers (e.g. "https://www.facebook.com/shopify"). Safety cap: up to 20 total search/page/Ads Library URL tasks per run.
adsLibraryUrls	array	Paste Facebook Ads Library results URLs copied from facebook.com/ads/library/. Embedded URL filters (keyword, page ID, country, status, media type, search type, and supported ad type) are used for this input; unsupported URL parameters such as date, language, or platform filters are ignored with a warning. Safety cap: up to 20 total search/page/Ads Library URL tasks per run.
country	string	ISO country code to search in. Use "ALL" for all countries. default "US"
activeStatus	string (all \| active \| inactive)	Filter by ad status. default "all"
mediaType	string (all \| image_and_meme \| video)	Filter by ad media type. default "all"
onlyAdsNewerThan	string	Optional inclusive lower bound for the ad activity interval. Use YYYY-MM-DD or a positive relative duration such as "30 days". An ad matches when its start/end activity interval overlaps the requested date window. default ""
onlyAdsOlderThan	string	Optional inclusive upper bound for the ad activity interval. Use YYYY-MM-DD or a positive relative duration such as "90 days". Active ads with no end date are handled as still active. default ""
maxAds	integer	Maximum number of ads to extract per search query, page URL, or Ads Library URL. The scraper scrolls to load more results automatically. Safety cap: 500 per search/page task; split very large exports into smaller runs for clearer progress and lower abort risk. default 100
