LinkedIn Ad Library Scraper: Competitor Ads

How to use it: 3 steps

1. Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: Apify in Company names. Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Scrape ads from the public LinkedIn Ad Library by company, keyword or payer, and get each ad's text, CTA, images or video, run dates, impressions by country and targeting.

• Who runs it: advertiser name, LinkedIn company ID and page, logo, and who paid for the ad.
• The ad itself: format (image, video, document, carousel, text, message and more), headline, full text, CTA button and link, landing domain, images, video, document pages, carousel cards.
• When and how much: first and last date shown, days running, impressions range, and the share of impressions by country.
• Targeting: what LinkedIn shows about the audience: language, location, job, company and other categories, with included and excluded values.

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/linkedin-ad-library. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/linkedin-ad-library").call(run_input={
    "companyNames": [
        "Apify"
    ],
    "dateRange": "all-time"
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~linkedin-ad-library/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companyNames": ["Apify"], "dateRange": "all-time"}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/linkedin-ad-library")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"companyNames": ["Apify"], "dateRange": "all-time"}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
