Find ads in the Facebook Ad Library by keyword or Ad Library URL, with ad copy, call to action, landing page, run dates, placements and advertiser. Narrow by country and status; spend, impressions, targeting and conversions are not included.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Facebook Ads endpoint (facebook/ads).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to facebook and action to ads, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: Specifies the search query for distinct platform endpoints. For search, it searches public posts; for ads, it accepts ad keywords or direct Ad Library and Page URLs.
- Optional parameters:
  - country: Specifies the country code for keyword queries in the ads action, such as US (defaults to US). Values are converted to uppercase when constructing request URLs.
  - status: Filters ad page status with allowed values: all (default), active (currently running), or inactive (stopped). This represents ad delivery status rather than ad review status.
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, text, title, cta_text, link_url, is_active, started_at, ended_at, platforms, variant_count, advertiser_id; 16 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=facebook.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "facebook",
  "action": "ads",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "coffee"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Request parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Default	Description
`Authorization`	header	`string`	Yes	-	Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
`platform`	body	`string`	Yes	`facebook`	Platform identifier, fixed value.
`action`	body	`string`	Yes	`ads`	Capability identifier, fixed value.
`keyword`	body.params	Not declared	Yes	-	Specifies the search query for distinct platform endpoints. For search, it searches public posts; for ads, it accepts ad keywords or direct Ad Library and Page URLs; for marketplace, it accepts item search terms or complete Marketplace search URLs. Each action queries a different dataset rather than returning the same results under different field names.
`country`	body.params	Not declared	No	-	Specifies the country code for keyword queries in the ads action, such as US (defaults to US). Values are converted to uppercase when constructing request URLs. If keyword is provided as a complete URL, the parameters embedded in that URL take precedence and this country setting is not applied.
`status`	body.params	Not declared	No	-	Filters ad page status with allowed values: all (default), active (currently running), or inactive (stopped). This represents ad delivery status rather than ad review status. When keyword is an Ad Library URL, its embedded active_status may differ from this parameter; keep the two consistent.
`limit`	body.params	`integer (1–200)`	No	`20`	The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge.

Code samples

bash

curl -X POST 'https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVERYINFRA_API_KEY" \

  --data-raw '{

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`id`	The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`text`	Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
`title`	Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
`cta_text`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`link_url`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`is_active`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`started_at`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`ended_at`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`platforms`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`variant_count`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`advertiser_id`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`advertiser_name`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`advertiser_url`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`advertiser_likes`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`image_url`	Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401: Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422: Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402: Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429: The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503: Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty: The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

Meta Official: Ads and Page Search Objects in the Ad Library ↗
Historical Meta announcements introduce searching ads by keyword or Page and highlight transparency data differences between general active ads and political or issue ads, along with official API requirements; this does not imply that all ads include spend, impressions, or complete history, as this endpoint does not offer those stable fields.
