What AdLibraryScraper.com does
Ranked guide to the best Ad Library scrapers
The ranking scores 8 Meta Ad Library scrapers and APIs from 1 to 5 on 7 published criteria.
Readers get a shortlist of two or three tools that fit their budget and workflow.
In-depth tool reviews
Each of the 8 reviews covers pricing plans, the data fields returned, MCP setup, pros, cons and links to the vendor's own pages.
Readers can judge one tool in detail without opening its docs and pricing page.
Head-to-head comparisons
6 comparisons put two finalists side by side, for example Curious Coder (Apify) vs ScrapeCreators.
Readers can settle a final choice between two tools in one page.
Price per 1,000 ads with EU reach
Every price, whether billed per ad, per request, per credit or per record, is converted into the cost of 1,000 ads with Meta's EU reach data included.
Readers can compare tools directly, from $0.75 to about $5 per 1,000 ads.
Claude and MCP setup guides
Every review lists the tool's MCP server URL, how it signs in, and a Claude Code setup command where the vendor documents one.
Readers can connect Ad Library data to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor in minutes.
Published rating methodology
The methodology explains each criterion, the price math and where every number comes from.
Readers can check any score or price against its source.
What makes AdLibraryScraper.com different
One price unit that includes EU reach
Vendor pricing pages quote different units. ScrapeCreators and SearchAPI bill per request, which makes ad lists look almost free until EU reach adds one details request per ad. AdLibraryScraper.com prices every tool per 1,000 ads with reach, so ScrapeCreators shows as $1.94 and SearchAPI as $4.13.
Every number links to its source
The reviews cite 24 vendor pages, docs and store listings, and every source list shows the date it was checked. When a vendor does not publish a price or a field, the site says so instead of estimating it.
AI and MCP readiness is scored
Marketplaces such as the Apify Store rank actors by users and ratings. AdLibraryScraper.com also scores how well each tool works with Claude and other AI agents: OAuth sign-in, response size and whether each call shows its cost.
A disclosed conflict of interest
The founder builds AdSpends, which is reviewed on the site. That link is stated on the AdSpends review, in the affiliate disclosure and on this page, and AdSpends is scored with the same 7 criteria.
Vendors cannot buy a position
Rankings follow the plain average of the 7 scores. Tools without an affiliate program are listed and scored the same way, and the free official Meta Ad Library API is compared openly against the paid tools.

The team behind AdLibraryScraper.com
Oleg Glanz is a performance marketer who builds direct-response funnels for e-commerce brands through FullFunnelSetup.com. Meta Ad Library research is part of his daily work, which is why he built AdSpends, an ad intelligence tool that turns Ad Library data into searchable ads, landing pages and ad spend estimates.
He writes AdLibraryScraper.com to document what each scraper and API actually returns, what it costs, and where it breaks, so marketers and developers can pick the right data source without trial and error.
How AdLibraryScraper.com started
AdLibraryScraper.com was founded in 2026 after Oleg Glanz kept getting the same question from marketers: which tool should I use to get data out of the Meta Ad Library? The honest answer depends on whether you need a quick CSV, a production API or enriched data such as ad spend estimates, so he documented the differences with prices checked at the source.
