Frequently asked questions
Can I use an ad ID instead of the full URL?
Yes. A numeric ad ID can work, but the full public Ads Library URL is easier to verify.
Why is there no video result?
The ad may use images only, may be restricted, or may no longer expose a public video source.
Is this allowed for competitor research?
Research use is generally different from reuse. Respect platform terms, copyright, trademarks, and client confidentiality.
Where should I start?
Start on the main downloader, paste the public URL, then use the returned media for your research notes.
