Status

Only ads that are running now (active), only stopped ads (inactive), or both (all).

More options (10)

Company name

Advertiser name, e.g. Nike. We use the top match from search companies. Ignored when pageId is set.

Country

Where the ad ran: a 2-letter ISO country code (US, GB, DE…) or ALL. One country per request.

Media type

Creative format. meme is Facebook's name for image + text; none means text-only.

Ad category. Political ads also carry spend and impressions ranges.

Language of the ad text as an ISO 639-1 code, e.g. en or es.

Sort by

total_impressions: most-seen ads first. relevancy_monthly_grouped: most recent first.

Start date

Only ads shown on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). The ad itself may have launched earlier.

End date

Only ads shown on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

Cursor

The cursor from the previous response, to get the next page. Keep every other param the same.

Trim

true drops image and video URLs (inside snapshot.cards too) for a much smaller response. All text is kept.

When to use this

Use it to study one competitor's creative, offers and landing pages. Pass pageId (exact) or companyName (we use the top match and return it as page_id and page_name). status defaults to all; pass active for ads running now.

pageId comes from search companies (facebook_search_companies) or the view_all_page_id in an Ad Library URL. Returns 404 not_found if no page matches companyName. The list is under results (keyword search uses searchResults).

Pagination. The first page returns up to 30 ads plus searchResultsCount. Pass cursor back (with the same filters) for the next page: cursor pages return up to 10 ads, which is Facebook's own page size, and searchResultsCount is null. cursor is null on the last page.

Parameters

All parameters go in the query string.

Pagination

Pass the response's cursor back as cursor, with the other parameters unchanged, for the next page. It's null on the last page. Each page costs 1 credit.

The first five pages, in JavaScript

let cursor = null;
for (let page = 1; page <= 5; page++) {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({ pageId: "15087023444", status: "active" });
  if (cursor) params.set("cursor", cursor);
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/facebook/adLibrary/company/ads?${params}`, {
    headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.LURKAPI_KEY },
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  if (!data.success) throw new Error(`${data.code}: ${data.error}`);
  console.log(data.results);
  cursor = data.cursor;
  if (!cursor) break; // last page
}

Caching and freshness

Responses are cached for up to 30 minutes, so a repeat call within that window can return the same data. It still costs 1 credit.

Errors

Errors return { success: false, error, code, docs } with the HTTP status below. Validation errors, 401/402/429 rejections and 5xx failures are free; not_found is charged (how charging works). All error codes.

Status	Code	Meaning
401	`missing_api_key`	No API key. Send it in the `x-api-key` header.
401	`invalid_api_key`	The key is unknown or was revoked.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Not enough credits for this call. Buy a pack or wait for tomorrow's top-up.
404	`not_found`	The endpoint, or the thing you asked for (ad, post, subreddit), doesn't exist. Charged when the platform was checked.
405	`method_not_allowed`	Endpoints take GET with query params.
429	`rate_limited`	Too many calls at once. Wait for the `retry-after` seconds, then retry.
500	`internal_error`	Something broke on our side. Retry; 5xx errors are free.
502	`upstream_error`	The platform didn't give a usable answer. Retry; 5xx errors are free.
503	`upstream_busy`	All our connections to the platform are busy. Retry in a few seconds; 5xx errors are free.
504	`upstream_timeout`	The platform took over 30 seconds to answer. Retry; timeouts are free.

Use it in Claude

Once LurkAPI is connected to Claude, this endpoint is the facebook_company_ads tool. Ask in plain English, for example:

Ask Claude

Use LurkAPI's facebook_company_ads with pageId "15087023444", status "active" and summarize what you find.

Claude calls facebook_company_ads with arguments like these, and each call costs 1 credit:

Tool arguments

{
  "pageId": "15087023444",
  "status": "active"
}

Tool results skip nulls and empty lists to save tokens, and trim defaults to true.
