information using this API.

- Place multiple URLs of Facebook pages to scrape ad data.
- Click the Start button and allow some time for the scraper to get you the
required data.

- URL of the page like

https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_type=all&coun
try=ALL&q=%7B%7D&sort_data[direction]=desc&sort_data[mode]=relevan
cy_monthly_grouped&start_date[min]=2022-10-
12&start_date[max]=&search_type=keyword_unordered&media_type=vid You can get a longer URL in the ads library of Facebook. Before pasting
the link, mention filters, settings, and amounts per page.

deliver 30 advertisements. Facebook restricted the maximum number of
ads shown per page, so you may not see all the ads.
