Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Facebook Ad Library. Specifically, the "Get Ad" operation under the Facebook Ad Library resource allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific Facebook advertisement by its ID. This is useful for marketers, analysts, or researchers who want to monitor ad content, performance, or competitor campaigns on Facebook.
Practical examples:
- Fetching details of a particular Facebook ad to analyze its creative and targeting.
- Monitoring competitor ads by regularly retrieving their active advertisements.
- Aggregating ad data for reporting or auditing purposes.
Properties

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested Facebook ad. This typically includes fields such as ad creative, status, targeting, impressions, and other metadata related to the ad. The exact structure depends on the response from the Facebook Ad Library API but generally contains comprehensive information about the ad's content and performance.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Scrape Creators service.
- The node sends requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint at
https://api.scrapecreators.com. - Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing ad ID will cause the request to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API key will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the API endpoint.
- Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- "Ad not found" or similar errors suggest the provided ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors require checking API usage limits.
