Company Google Ads Transparency Sample (hirepulse/google-ads-transparency-scraper)

This dataset contains verified real-world sample records extracted from the Google Ads Transparency Center by company domain using hirepulse/google-ads-transparency-scraper on the Apify Store.

Unlike endpoints that require you to manually look up Google's internal AR... advertiser IDs first, hirepulse/google-ads-transparency-scraper takes plain company domains (such as nike.com or adidas.com) and returns either individual ad creatives (mode: "ads") or a single summary row per domain (mode: "summary").
