About Google Ads & Insight Scraper

Ever wondered who's really behind those ads you see, or how much they're spending? This actor lets you pull back the curtain on Google's Ads Transparency Center. Give it a search URL from adstransparency.google.com, and it scrapes the detailed data for you. You'll get the full list of advertisers running for that term, the regions they're targeting, and copies of the ads themselves. More importantly, it extracts the spend estimates—both per advertiser and per region—so you can see the budget landscape at a glance. I use this for a few key things. For competitive research, it's gold; you can see exactly what ads your rivals are placing and where. For lead generation, it helps identify active advertisers in a niche. For market analysis, the regional spend data is incredibly revealing. It saves you the hours of manual clicking and copying. You just configure your target searches, run the actor, and get structured JSON or CSV output ready for your own dashboards or analysis. It's become a staple in my toolkit for understanding the paid search environment. Check the information page for the full details on the data points it captures.
