Overview

The "Scrape Creators" node provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Google Ad Library. Specifically, the "Get A Company's Google Ads" operation allows users to retrieve advertisements associated with a particular company by searching via domain or advertiser ID. This is useful for marketing analysts, advertisers, and researchers who want to monitor competitors' ad campaigns, analyze advertising trends, or gather insights on ad content and targeting.

Practical examples:

  • A marketing team wants to track all Google ads run by a competitor's domain to understand their advertising strategy.
  • An analyst needs to collect political ads from specific advertisers in a given country to study campaign messaging.
  • A researcher gathers data on ad topics and regions to analyze market penetration and audience targeting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain The domain to search for ads. You can search either by domain name (e.g., google.com) or advertiser ID.
Additional Fields Optional extra parameters:
- Topic: Filter ads by topic, options are "All" or "Political".
- Country: Two-letter country code to restrict search region (default "US").
- Advertiser ID: Specific advertiser ID to search for instead of domain.
Limit Maximum number of ad results to return (required). Default is 50.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of ads retrieved for the specified company/domain/advertiser ID. Each item in the output typically includes details about individual ads such as ad content, targeting information, topic classification, and regional data. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally represents an array of ad objects.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Scrape Creators service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint at https://api.scrapecreators.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect domain or advertiser ID may result in empty results.
    • Exceeding the limit or requesting too many results might lead to rate limiting or partial responses.
    • Incorrect country codes or unsupported topic filters could yield no data.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key is correctly set and valid.
    • No results found: Verify the domain or advertiser ID input; try broadening filters.
    • Rate limit exceeded: Reduce the requested limit or add delays between requests.
